President Joe Biden has been making good progress in his final days in office, handing out valuable handouts to various ideological allies.

This was after he had already made a name for himself, and his attorney general, Elizabeth Preloger, number of backflips The Justice Department sided with his political backers, donors and left-wing trial lawyers at the Supreme Court. In high profile events Billions of dollars are at stake. (Related: David Blackmon: President Trump calls Biden’s drilling ban ‘the worst abuse of power I’ve ever seen’)

With less than two weeks left until the end of the Biden administration, Biden and his allies look to do another favor for political allies by blocking Supreme Court scrutiny and Trump administration involvement. , these storylines are colliding. In a public nuisance lawsuit in Hawaii.

This incident is called Sunoco LP v. City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii. The move is part of an effort by local officials in Honolulu to use public nuisance claims to impose liability and new restrictions on a range of energy companies due to the effects of global climate change.

Through this lawsuit, Honolulu seeks to reduce global energy production and free up billions of dollars. That money would be used to pay for their own green priorities, forcing fundamental changes in what Americans can buy on a daily basis: an EV in every garage, a gas stove on top of the house. A cliff so to speak.

The left has been pushing for lawsuits against public nuisances like this for years. through the campaign It involves public officials, trial lawyers, and advocacy groups. And this campaign is Everything is supported by huge amounts of free money..

The Supreme Court last year asked the Biden Justice Department, through its attorney general, to comment on whether the Supreme Court should take up the public nuisance case from Hawaii. Attorney General Preloger’s order seeking an opinion is notable as a sign that the court may consider the merits of the Honolulu case.

This has left the Biden administration in the position of choosing between representing the interests of liberal donors and following the kind of straightforward legal analysis that the U.S. attorney general would want to follow. would have shown that This case easily meets the Supreme Court’s standard of review.

Things got even more interesting when former President Donald Trump won the election and appointed a new attorney general for the Justice Department after the Supreme Court asked for the government’s opinion. So even if the Supreme Court were to take up the case, Biden’s allies would have no ally in the Justice Department to help.

With the Trump Justice Department on standby, it’s no surprise that Biden’s minions would do this. Standing with supporters of climate change litigationasked the Supreme Court not to consider the case any further and to leave intact the left’s best weapon for rebuilding society.

But that’s not the last word. The final decision will come from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will soon decide whether to fully reconsider the Honolulu case or wait to see if the incoming Trump Justice Department team has a different perspective.

Waiting for the Trump Justice Department to intervene makes a lot of sense. Because it seems like the Supreme Court could benefit from a clearer interpretation of this case and the legal issues posed by attempts to impose national policy on a myriad of areas. . Some cities are using public nuisance laws without the political considerations at stake in this case for Biden and his team.

This may be particularly attractive in cases that have a significant impact on consumers. as well as the main question of sovereignty. It goes far beyond a single industry or product.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a big issue and the stakes are high. If Biden gets away with this Supreme Court ruling on behalf of his allies, consumers will see fewer products on store shelves, more of their lives controlled in the hallways of Honolulu, Portland, and Oakland, and billions of dollars more in the hands of liberals. They will face a future in which they will be in the hands of the sect. Activist.

So, with only a few days left in the Biden administration’s term, here’s hoping the administration doesn’t skimp on yet another political maneuver and the Supreme Court takes stock of the current game-changing.

Look for the Supreme Court to consider this case, at least this week. Because that matters more to your family than the question of whether Biden should get any more of a chance to get things done in his final days in office.
