Biden's Court Problem

Climate will be the driving priority of this White House-Mr. Biden's make-nice to progressives.

He'll have a climate envoy, a climate czar, and climate obsessives leading every department.

Two, the growing collection of Obama retreads signals that Mr. Biden intends to enact this agenda Obama-style.

What choice does he have? A continued Republican Senate would put paid to most of Mr. Biden's legislative ideas, given their radical nature.

That's why the Biden administration is already gearing up to rule by executive order and regulation.

That's the number of judges Mitch McConnell's Senate has so far confirmed over the past four years, and Donald Trump's most enduring legacy.

Team Biden will struggle to replicate the Obama regulatory machine "Because much of what they want to do will be well beyond any statutory or constitutional authority, and what we have now are a number of judges attuned to those issues and unafraid to hold the executive branch accountable," says Don McGahn, Mr. Trump's first White House counsel.
