Description

The Supreme Court is taking up four cases, consolidated under the name West Virginia v. EPA, that could lead to the most consequential decision on the government’s ability to fight climate change in recent history. Although the litigation is nominally over President Obama’s Clean Power Plan – which was repealed by the Trump administration but still exists in a zombie-like legal state – it's really about the executive branch's ability to fight climate change - and to govern more broadly. To help us understand what is at stake in this case, Debra Perlin speaks this week with two friends from Earthjustice, Jill Tauber and Kirti Datla. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Debra Perlin, ACS Director of Policy and Programs Guest: Jill Tauber, Vice President of Litigation for Climate and Energy at Earthjustice Guest: Kirti Datla, Director of Strategic Legal Advocacy at Earthjustice Link: Earthjustice's Action Center Link: Equitable & Just National Climate Platform Link: Climate Law Blog, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law Link: Supreme Court Oral arguments Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law Podcast Email the Show: Podcast@ACSLaw.org Follow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube ----------------- Production House: Flint Stone Media Copyright of American Constitution Society 2022.

Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.
