VIDEO: Climate Alarmist Michael Mann Says Senate Democrats Need 'Litmus Test' on Expanding SCOTUS

Climate scientist Michael Mann argued on a podcast that Senate Democrats should support expanding the Supreme Court to advance climate regulations. During the interview, Mann claimed that a recent Supreme Court ruling weakened the Environmental Protection Agency's regulatory powers, though he mischaracterized the decision. The ruling, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, actually overturned the Chevron deference doctrine, which had been in place since 1984. Mann admitted he couldn't recall whether the ruling occurred before or after the 2024 election. Meanwhile, some Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Pramila Jayapal and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have discussed potential reforms to the Supreme Court, though none have explicitly endorsed expanding the number of justices. Senator Chuck Grassley accused Democrats of seeking court packing due to electoral challenges. Mann was also recently sanctioned for presenting misleading data during a defamation trial.

Why The Religious Left’s New Christianity Is As Hollow As Their Beliefs

The article discusses the growing divide between religious and secular voters in American politics, focusing on how the 'God gap' has become a significant factor in political alignment. It notes that since the 2000s, Republicans have increasingly aligned with religious voters, while Democrats have moved toward secularism.
