on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

Like a few replies point out, Gorsuch's mother was the director of the EPA under Reagan. While that doesnt mean he is a know-it-all by genetics or by osmosis, he should know enough to not confuse two gases. Plus, he has clerks. Imagine how smart and qualified people can look when they have clerks?

They don't care about the difference between nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide because they have non intention of ruling on the basis of scientific data and statistically grounded scientific arguments. Simple really.

Next time this comes up, they can just rule that nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide are just the same thing. They have yet to realize their full power.

I have a science degree (not chemistry) and I would have easily made the same error… which is a good reason for me to not be writing air pollution rules for the EPA. Same goes for Gorsuch and the courts…

The only thing we can do about this sham court is to take the House and keep the Senate and presidency. We need to impeach the insurrectionist judges and pass ethics laws to keep SCOTUS honest. Expanding the court would be harder to do.
