President Biden's Department of Justice filed a brief in a case questioning local regulation of greenhouse gases, urging the Supreme Court to deny a review.
The brief appears to favor environmentalists and plaintiffs’ lawyers, raising questions about the DOJ's neutrality and adherence to legal norms.
Historically, both Democrat and Republican administrations maintained that no single state should dictate national policy on emissions.

Critics argue that the DOJ's approach demonstrates a political weaponization of the department, echoing broader concerns of politicization in various legal arenas.
