Ping.
You know darn well that Obama gave the order to punish Texas via any means possible.

Don’t mess with Texas!!!!
In before the ‘we need to get rid of the EPA crowd’.
We need to change the Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and a host of other legislation to give business and factual science a seat at the table, and quit allowing enviro groups to be the 4th branch of govt.
Just getting rid of the EPA means it just goes and embeds itself into a different part of govt.
I Would feel better if the EPA were dissolved and the states were free to set their own standards.
I do agree with your assessment of the various legislative acts that you listed.
Just like a boy named Sue, conservatives are going to have to get tough or die. JMHO of course...
