Senior attorney at the American First Policy Institute, Brian Kelsey, who filed an amicus brief in support of the Trump administration, spoke to AM Update on the law the Supreme Court is being asked to rule on.
Kelsey walked through a key constitutional issue involved in the case, the non-delegation doctrine.
The Trump administration's position is straightforward, argues Kelsey.
Solicitor General John Sauer arguing for the Trump administration, facing tough questions from the justices, one of the sharpest exchanges coming from Trump-appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch.
Kelsey predicts that that line of questioning might mean in terms of how the normally reliably conservative Trump-appointed Justice Gorsuch is thinking.
Kelsey says in the end, it'll likely come down to three swing votes.
A decision is expected by June, but it could come earlier.
A major victory for the Trump administration and for anyone who thinks offshore wind farms are an eyesore.
Barack Obama's appointed U.S.
District Judge Tanya Chutkan, yes, that's the very same judge who oversaw the president's January 6th case, ruling on Tuesday that the Trump administration is allowed to consider a wind farm project
issued three days before the Biden administration ended.
Judge Shutkin determining the developers would not, quote, suffer immediate and significant hardship if the Trump administration is allowed to revisit the permitting of the South Coast Wind Project off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
The massive project includes the proposed construction of 141 wind turbines with the ability to power an estimated 80
840,000 homes in Massachusetts and in Rhode Island.
The developers say they've already spent more than $600 million on the project and will be considering legal options.
The Trump administration contending the initial environmental review may have, quote, understated or obfuscated the project's true impacts and not complied with federal law.
With this ruling, the administration now can effectively freeze the project, preventing construction for as long as President Trump is in office, with more wind farms now on the chopping block.
Two other Biden-approved projects, one off Maryland and another off the Massachusetts coast, already in the administration's crosshairs for possible permit revocation.
Well, that'll do it for your AM Update.
I'm Mark Halpern, host of NextUp.
