Surber--who writes honest news--reminds us that a really, really, really, big decision is coming down from SCOTUS. Not as big as the Roe takedown, but probably #2.
...The Supreme Court case that matters the most this year is West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency. [Sorry, Don. NOT 'the most.]
Republican state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey challenged the EPA's authority to regulate carbon dioxide, which is a nutrient not a pollutant....
(Quoting The New Republic): "There are two big questions in the case. First, can the EPA regulate carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act? The Supreme Court appears poised to say no, which could make it all but impossible for the U.S. to meet the international climate change commitments to which it has agreed. ...
...The question in this case is not the pseudo-science of global cooling/global warming/climate change.
The question is whether Congress gave the EPA the power to regulate carbon dioxide. Given that you cannot have life on Earth without carbon dioxide and water, it would seem like an open and shut case of Hell No.
But even if you ignore the science, the Constitution also says Hell No.
Congress, not the bureaucracy, writes the law.
Forget for a moment that the ruling will protect the cheap electricity Don Surber gets from John Amos. A finding by the Court that agencies do not have the power to run roughshod of the Constitution will force a monumental change in Washington. Agencies will need congressional approval of their rules....
We'll soon learn if Donald Trump is THE greatest President of the 21st Century, eh?
Betting the EPA will simply ignore the ruling if it goes against them...
