Type: Opinion
Court: Supreme Court of the United States
Jurisdiction: Federal
Date: 2011-06-20
Topic: general

Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment. I concur in the judgment, and I agree with the Court’s displacement analysis on the assumption (which I make for the sake of argument because no party contends otherwise) that the interpretation of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq., adopted by the majority in Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497, 127 S. Ct. 1438, 167 L. Ed. 2d 248 (2007), is correct.
