The Supreme Court is on a roll.
The Post Millennial- Supreme Court rules against EPA’s authority to limit emissions by remaking energy sector
The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a ruling in the case of West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency. The 6-3 ruling sides with West Virginia, which sought to limit the Clean Air Act.
“Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible ‘solution to the crisis of the day,'” Roberts writes, citing New York v. United States. “But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme in Section 111(d). A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body.”
Sadly … the SCOTUS has already agreed that Co2 is a “pollutant”. Horrific decision underpinned by faulty models and fudged temperature data. The SCOTUS shockingly treats the EPA as a legitimate “science Agency”. Meanwhile … lead contaminates drinking water in far too many localities.
No one has explained to my satisfaction how carbon dioxide is a pollutant.
This vexes me.
The claim is that if it causes harm to the environment and to humans it is a pollutant.
The claim is false of course, because the science is very clear that CO2 causes no harm to the environment, quite the contrary, increases in CO2 are a benefit to all life on earth including humans. They lied to the court, guilty of perjury.
The SCOTUS decision that CO2 is a pollutant is thus based on a massive lie. But it will stand until somehow, honest scientists are able to show an unbiased SCOTUS the facts. Don’t hold your breath.
Every breath you take…..Stupid carbon based organisms living on a carbon based planet trying to eliminate carbon? There is a word for that, suicide.
It is dumb but they are trying to reduce fossil fuel use not carbon.
If you think mankind is causing this warming it makes sense but that is not cause.
Sorry Clayton carbon is the problem as far as they are concerned. CO2 is not.
When will that be challenged, I wonder?
This is a far reaching ruling that could limit every single Agency set up by Executive Order.
Give President Trump his own Mountain like Crazy Horse.
He stopped the wholesale slaughter of Federal Power to control abortion, 70M Babies died. Then the 2A Ruling now the slap down of Federal Agencies ability to make laws and rules.
President Trump one of America’s Greatest Presidents
I believe the TDS crowd has already provided a model for your mountain statue …

Those SF Pffagggs sure are creative …
These issues should be sent to cobgress to decide.
No reason for progressives to be angry at the last two weeks. Their president is the most popular in history. He should easily get the votes to pass law in their favor.
The EPA’s powers are extraordinary; basically they can make law unilaterally without legislation. It matters not how many lives they ruin in the process.
Those powers need reigning in. Badly.
Reining in. Yes, they do.
Every single decision of the last week has said to amend the constitution or pass a law to justify your stupidity. It’s not the job of the Supremes to create law or amendments. The Constitution has been amended 27 times. It can’t be all that difficult. Just find something the country generally agrees on. Wasn’t that the whole point?
scar, there is a formula, but dare I suggest it would eliminate the constitution completely as the average citizen is a moron and a socialist. The whu who “covid” flu proved that in spades.
The average citizen is not that dumb. This is why Congress has never granted this extraordinary power.
Clayton, the average American and Canadian sure as hell is.
Many of these ruling have a theme: the primacy of legislation over the courts and deep state unless there is a clear constitutional right.
This may prove to be the biggest conservative victory of the last week.
Forcing legislators to do their jobs and legislate? The horror. The horror.
And when those Legislator’s pass laws that drive up the costs of all basic goods ,.. the people will replace their asses with smarter, more compassionate people.
I read somewhere once that the EPA actually issues grants to environmental groups so that they can afford to hire competent lawyers to sue the US Govt. State Govt., and even the EPA itself to change policy and circumvent the Legislative process. It’s pretty telling that they want to shy away from representative government so as to give certain politicians cover for destroying entire industries or keeping those who are (presumably) represented in the dark about the nefarious agenda.
Here is another sign the tide may be turning

Just not in Canada I guess where the Turd is about to let another carbon tax increase go through as planned. Maybe that will be enough to wake up a few more idiots.
Congress will likely pass a law that directs the EPA to regulate CO2 right away.
Leahy is out for surgery, Manchin will oppose.
Most Republicans will filibuster.
Not likely the Senate will do that.
Allah doesn’t understand how the US system works.
Demarxists understand, that’s why they work so hard to subvert it, abuse it, ignore it, and then kill it if necessary.
If so, and it’s doubtful it would pass, that’s the way it’s supposed to work.
I hope they decide that all humans in America have to stop breathing, and they go first.
They could have done that at any time but they are not that stupid. This is why administrative law does this. It provides deniability. I did not vote for a law that stupid.
Did the majority wipe out the Chevron Deference, and it’s related abominations?
Or the EPA’s illegal and illegitimate “Fund, Sue and Settle” regulatory regime?
Obviously there is still work to do to rein in the regulatory agencies.
