A strong reminder that we have always been in a class war, not a culture war.
George Carlin had this figured out decades ago.

If the Supreme Court ever rules carbon isn’t a public health danger, it won’t be a legal decision, it’ll be a confession: science discarded, reality vetoed, and fossil fuel money seated on the bench. At that point, stop calling it governance and start calling it fraud.

“How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”

Achieving 60 seats in the Senate this Midterm would be a Herculean feat.
