Kudos to Judge Goldsmith, a sane judge surrounded by leftists.

Lisa Jackson and her EPA should take note of this decision, there just may be some federal judges that agree with Judge Goldsmith.

PS: Jane is not only colorful but accurate.

Looking good
Now fire those eco-parasites on the public payroll. We are funding our enemies. Providing gubbermint jobs to liberals who want to hobble America and make us into beggars. Making the private sector into beggars petitioning the scum in DC for exemptions and relief

"analysis provides no evidence to support its chosen approach."

This is the key to getting rid of BS regulations. If they are made to prove their claim that something hurts and their proposed fix helps, all this will go away, or be tied up in the courts for a long time.

Gasoline powered 1975 year model or older
Can you believe that 35 year old cars still have to be smogged there ? Everything from 1976+. That is just nuts.

Do you expect me to believe that a judge in California made a ruling that is good for the economy. This story has to be bogus.

The CA Air Resources Board (CARB) is a billion dollar-a-year budgeted agency that has as its covert purpose the destruction of industry and business in California. The people who sit on its board are paid roughly $100K a year as polical patronage jobs, and have essentially no training in any relevant area. Indeed, the head of CARB Mary Nichols, (a classic overweight frumpola liblady) was the foremost proponent of the MTBE oxygenate gasoline-additive scandal; an error that virtually all scientific thought warned against at the time, and which cost Californians roughly $12 billion, not to mention the ongoing efforts at remediating groundwater pollution it caused. That such a flaming idiot incompetent should be re-appointed to the same position from whence she created such stupid damage is incomprehensible; yet only serves to underline what a complete waste of effort this agency represents to the potential economic recovery of California.

The Chief Statistician at CARB, Hien T Tran, upon whose work virtually ALL of AB32 is based, the most draconian “greenhouse gas” legal mandate in the US, was found to have LIED as to his academic credentials in order to obtain his potiion at CARB.

Was he fired? No.
Were the results he came up with tossed out? No
Were the results he derived subjected to any sort of review? No.
He received about a $30K pay reduction, and remains employed by the agency.

SO, WE JUST MAKE UP A LAW THAT INCORPORATES THE RESULTS OF A FREAKING LIAR, the thing he lied about being his academic credentials, the law having this minor little effect of, oh, you know, forcing the replacement of EVERY SINGLE DIESEL ENGINE IN THE ENTIRE STATE.

And once again, we have an UNTESTED mandate placed upon commerce, hospital emergency backup generators, agricultural stationary pumping engines, etc etc etc, and the thing is, at least on the surface, a mandate that reduces air pollution by 10%, but INCREASES mileage/consumption by 10% which forces more fuel to be burned for a given energy output which would seem to be a kind of moot point. In other words, California’s favorite type of law!

You know you are a Gulag-filling Communist when even a San Francisco judge thinks your Liberal plan is too liberal
