WASHINGTON-U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Thursday released the following statement after the Supreme Court limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ability to regulate carbon emissions that cause climate change in West Virginia v. EPA:

“The Supreme Court is not Congress, and their unceasing attempt to impose a right wing political agenda on the country is a threat to democracy. But Congress cannot let this politically supercharged court stop us from taking action to combat climate change. No less than the fate of the planet is at stake,” said Murphy.
