"How Ginsburg's Reversal Of Kavanaugh Saved 'Huge' Air Rule"

"If Judge Brett Kavanaugh had his way, EPA would be without an important tool for regulating air pollution that drifts across state lines.

Kavanaugh — President Trump's Supreme Court nominee — would want to know exactly how much pollution each upwind state was sending to their downwind neighbors.

His goal: Reduce the chance that EPA might "over-control" a state's emissions.

But Kavanaugh's views in the 2012 opinion he wrote for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ran smack into a wall on the Supreme Court."
