Meet the Republican AGs who could fight Biden in court
A new cast of Republican attorneys general are ready for their star turn if President-elect Joe Biden tries to make good on his ambitious environmental goals.
They will follow what’s become a legal paradigm: attorneys general on one side of the political aisle challenging the environmental policies of a White House held by the opposing party.
The practice ramped up during the Obama administration, as red states challenged EPA’s aggressive environmental and climate rules. The trend exploded during the Trump years, with blue states suing over a long list of EPA rollbacks.
