If Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed — tilting the already-conservative Supreme Court even further to the right — it could have a major impact on the government's ability to fight climate change.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, meets with Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., on Capitol Hill ahead of her confirmation hearings.Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, meets with Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., on Capitol Hill ahead of her confirmation hearings.at next week's Senate hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.

Nearly all of President Trump's climate rollbacks have been challenged, and several are likely headed to the high court. And some conservative allies with ties to the fossil fuel industry say they'd like to relitigate a key decision that underpins climate regulations. It's difficult to predict how Barrett will rule on specific cases. Environmental law was not her focus as a professor, and not something she dealt with a lot during her time on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit."A judge must apply the law, as written.

Meidas_Sammi She is an abomination on every level. Get rid of her.

svdate This is all to try and sway 4 Republican Senators. What are the odds of that? I'm guessing not good.

svdate Ugh!

What climate change? You mean “ gods will”...(sarcasm!)

Republicans court packing. NPR silent on the McConnell rule

Amy Conehead Barrett is not good for the climate and other living things! Vote Blue 🗳

TrumpDerangementSyndrome FakeNews

Couldn’t find anyone with another opinion for the article Your a disgrace

And she will have a huge impact on the election. She will do everything to confirm Donald Trump, even if he loses. That's her promise to him.

GroveCityDem If this woman does not recognize that climate change is real, she shouldn’t even be allowed to have children.

She is perfect person for the job. Stop trying to put your narrative on it. It’s incredibly disgusting how you all do it over everything trump does.

: the home of endless fear-mongering and speculation.

the told you so that's coming is never ending

DefundNPR

The greatest and most evil destruction of nature is destruction of 60 million innocent human beings annually worldwide through abortion. The baby is not part of mother and it is not about reproductive rights because the conception has already occurred.

Climate Change is NOT real.

But if the government fights climate changes the insanely wealthy will be slightly less insanely wealthy!

The Human Caused Climate Change Baby has something to say about this!

At our cost.

I work in HVAc in the south. I never see any Democrat homes that keep there AC set on 78 in the middle of summer when its 105F heat index. Just think of the fossil fuel usage that 50% of the population is wasting away just to be comfortable. Hypocrisy

Here we go again. NPR stirring the pot and “pushing” fear again in their pitiful attempt to steer votes towards the failed Democrats by scaring the climate change believers. This has no bearing on what will happen whether the Republicans win or not. Fear Mongers.

“Then government’s ability to fight climate change.” Haha. Tilting at windmills. But the illusion of it gives power to those that rule. And the wasted time, money and resources that will come with it.

I'm glad she cares so much about our children's future.

No it wont cause we will add 2 judge's when biden wins lol

Climate Change doesn't Exist so Who Cares? I Don't!

If Congress actually did its job selecting justices would not be so dramatic.

Bitcoin baby! She's moving up! I hope Americans are investing!!

While rescinding environmental policy does benefit Republican donors, we all know the real reason Trump is targeting them, the ACA and immigration.

Until India and China fall in and cleanup their industry as we have ours there is no point, we can suffer to be impossibly clean and it won't make any difference till they do the same

Unpack the court.

Amy Comey Barrett placed her children in harm’s way at the RoseGardenMassacre. No masks no social distancing. Social services needs to be called-in. She is not fit to be a Supreme Court Judge. If she can’t or won’t protect her kids - she will not protect the earth...

I hope she’s gets confirmed soon!

Oh brother! Insert eye roll here! When will you stop with the over-dramatic exaggerated prophesies based on fiction with few, of any, facts. Sacrificing your own credibility? NEWS FLASH- the public can read and think! Quit insulting our intelligence with fictionalized hyperbole.

NLPR

When, not if.

You think?

I like absolutely nothing about this woman.

Since 2000, the US has reduced CO2 emissions more than any other nation. In 2019 our CO2 emission reduction was the largest ever.

NPR, convince me that Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation could ever have any measurable impact on Earth's climate or weather.

She’s going to be confirmed.

Yet another reason to pack the courts. It’s for the kids.

The government shouldn’t be fighting something that didn’t exist.

She is a cult member.

This is important but there’s another important issue in Barrett, she’s pro corporations. Look at her latest decision, she sided on the company and screwed over the employee.

6-3. It’s coming to the SC. But NPR will do anything the Dem party asks them to in their fight to oppose ACB.

Is there ANYTHING positive about this pick?

I am almost certain the only question he asked her was 'will you be totally loyal to me', and to which she assured him she would do just that, like all the republican office holders across the country. So, are we a total banana republic yet?

Good. This climate change farce has went on for too long.

NPR believes Trump 'rolled back' the climate.

The hostile radical Right take over of the country is nearly complete

She needs to be defeated, stop Supreme Court appointment.

Congress should fix these!

I fear no courts. They have to breath air too. All power to the mass movement to save the planet from Big Oil.

Climate change is nature’s way of telling humans, goodbye.

That’s a very presumptuous and assuming theory about ACB with very little evidence.

If....😂

She is confident Jesus will deal with it.

At Peace Plaza East, we are preparing extra bug-paste, increasing work hours and sharing our heartache in The Human Pagoda. Come see us off Rte 9.

The premise here is that Congressional power has no limits. But consider a different topic & the same framing: 'If Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed, it could have a major impact on the government's ability to arbitrarily arrest people who might commit crimes in the future.'

AmyCovidBarrett

jeffbradynews it's sad that npr has your opinion presented as news.

it also could not. anything is possible.

Conservatives: 'Anything that I don't agree with or otherwise conflicts with my beliefs is a hoax.'

We love ACB!!! FILL THAT SEAT

There is a COVID outbreak at Trinity School at Greenlawn, where her kids attend. The kids did not quarantine for two weeks as recommended by the CDC and went right back to school after the Rose Garden super spreader event. This woman is so irresponsible and selfish!

It's been awhile since I checked in, what happened to NPR?

Is this news or an opinion piece? I can't tell anymore. Thanks for nothin', NPR/

NPR hates accomplished women.

If confirmed she will work to kill Roe vs Wade. Aborted fetus were used to create experimental treatment for covid19. Huge impact on science. Need to choose. Life or life?

It “could”? So it also “could not”?

She creeps me tf out. Its like she was freed from Koresh's compound in Waco, TX and nobody has told her yet.

No hearings until after the election results

You are a creepy person.

-major impact- on our lives and our children's lives and their children's lives and their...

imagine being a girl thinking about your future dent in the world, thinking, wow, one day i can singlehandedly kill the last ditch dreams for saving the planet, just like Jesus would’ve done

Sink the ship. That is where this is going.

Assuming she doesn’t infect all the other justices

PROPAGANDA

... but only if you think that ACB will base her legal opinions on what she believes a certain element within a certain party would want her to do instead of applying the law as written to the facts of the case. You don't believe that, do you? Bc that would just be stupid.

When the climate data goes back longer than they think the earth is old that is a problem.

25th amendment now. Republicans are attacking the American way of life.

Good!!!

LANDSLIDE WIN FOR BIDEN2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 SO THAT TRUMP WONT BUDGE ANYMORE OR COMPLAIN ANYMORE. ALL HANDS ON DECK!!!

Note: Everytime we talk about him, we give him free publicity. Been saying this FOR A WHILE. I IMPLORE the PRESS & TV OUTLETS to STOP giving him FREE PUBLICITY

Are you ever going to give fair coverage to politics?

It’s a bad sign from God when you nominate someone and at the event, all the attendees get the plague. Probably shouldn’t move forward imho 🤣🤣🤣

She’s terrible. 100 steps backwards with her😡

Climate change is a joke

“Climate Action” 🤤

That is a certainty...

All the best to Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Wow Just wow. Have some sense of duty

the government fighting climate change is the government fighting liberty. and it won't do jack shit to stop the holocene epoch.

Wouldn’t it be a refreshing surprise if NPR ever wrote an objection news story, instead of being a propaganda organ.

NPR is trying to spin everything they got to push the liberal Democrat agenda. I wonder what creative reasoning they’ll come up with next...

Climate change is normal. Why fight it?

Speculators invaded NPR

😂😂😂

What... one less activist on the court, actually using the COTUS as a legal document and guideline? ..say it isn't so.

'- it could have a major impact on the Democrat's* ability to fight climate change.' Fixed.

No one has a plan to fight climate change. Everyone screams climate is changing, man is causing it, but no one has a plan that takes into consideration all the factors ridding the world of fossil fuels. Its not a simple solution. Am tired of the hysteria

Noooooo!! Get her off the list! Noooooo!

If the democrats win the WH and Senate and keep the House, they can amend the Clean Air Act to make crystal clear it covers climate change, or enact a new statute specifically directed at it. This is not a constitutional issue, is it?

How many of you think that the corporations and the rich who have bought both Republicans democrats and scotus give a shit? Both parties only care about power and money and could care less about us Americans. Just look at the 2nd stimulus cluster fuck.

Why is the a 'might' in the headline?

If you ever want to eat oysters again out of your local waters, vote Biden. Even the oystermen around me (not exactly woke individuals) are pissed at the prez for rolling back protections. These salties see the writing on the wall when pollution shuts the waterways down.

Why doesn't Amy just ASK TO DELAY THE CONFIRMATION herself? That way, it will be considered a 'valid appointment.'USSupremeCourt AmyConeyBarrett SenSchumer AprilDRyan SteveSchmidtSES TheJusticeDept SecGeneScalia NinaTotenberg
