No. The SC is hostile to regulatory agency overreach as a means of congress not doing it's job. The SC is holding congress accountable. Regulatory agencies should not be able change the law through gradual expansion of scope. In this specific case, state level caps on carbon emissions are well beyond the original scope of the clean air act.

The only people who can really hold congress accountable are the voters. Right now it appears that the voters care more about who is “woke” and who isn’t, than about anything else.

That's entirely false. Case in point: the veto power. There are checks and balances built into the system. One of them is the supreme court's ability to rule on constitutionality.

And it's pretty clear that congress has pretty well abdicated its responsibilities...

The first paragraph of that link basically says that the Supreme Court found the EPA exceeded its authority given by lawmakers and that Congress should give EPA more authority if its intends for the EPA to do more.

The rest is opinions about that finding.

It is a symptom of congress not doing its job.
