The SCOTUS decision to let California demand the pork industry become slightly less cruel is pretty important

Yeah, but believe it or not California had to get special permission from the EPA in order to enact those stricter-than-Federal rules. And other states currently have the choice to either adopt the Federal emissions standards or adopt the California emissions standards, but not create their own new standards unless they go through a whole process to get a different waiver.

Anyway, I am glad that the court didn’t rule that CA can’t do this or needs to get a waiver from the department of agriculture or something.
