Believe it or not, overturning Roe v. Wade may not be the Supreme Court’s most dramatic decision this year. Instead, its ruling on West Virginia v. the Environmental Protection Agency could prove far more consequential. It could literally upend how our government works.
West Virginia vs. the EPA asks whether important policies that impact the lives of all Americans should be made by unelected D.C. bureaucrats or by Congress. This SCOTUS could well decide that ruling by executive agency fiat is no longer acceptable.
The case involves the Clean Power Plan, which was adopted under President Barack Obama to fight climate change; the program was estimated to cost as much as $33 billion per year and would have completely reordered our nation’s power grid. The state of West Virginia, joined by two coal companies and others, sued the EPA, arguing the plan was an abuse of power.
By deciding in favor of West Virginia, the court could begin to rein in the vast powers of the alphabet agencies in D.C. that run our lives and return it to legislators whom we elect to create…legislation.
Just as the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that abortion laws are more appropriately left up to the people’s elected representatives, it may decide in West Virginia vs. EPA that Congress, and not federal agencies, should write our laws.

To God’s ears. Please let it be so.
Amen!
What, if any, Decisions were dropped by the SC Wednesday?
I’m happy that we can finally be happy.
We should be so lucky.
1) SCOTUS rules states can prosecute non-Native Americans on Indigenous lands
2) Supreme Court says states can be sued for discriminating against veterans (called to active duty - returned to no job)
Too good to be true if as described.
So it will never happen.
While we are dreaming of limited government we may as well wish for an end to the endless abuse of The Interstate Commerce Clause.
Just as likely to happen.
Our Constitution already reserves legislation to Congress, ONLY Congress.
This case should never have needed to come before SCOTUS.
But Congress in their efforts to shirk their responsibilities AND to create as many “Regulations”* (Indistinguishable from “Law”) as possible have empowered a plethora of Agencies and Departments to “Issue implementing regulations” with only flimsy to no relationships to the legislation they claim to be administering.
*If you look it becomes apparent that most modern laws appear to be pay-back to lobbyist, the legal version of bribery.

Have I died and gone to Heaven?
Bigger is right.
I will happily rub their noses in it if the decision comes to pass.
Literally.
They delegated and shirked there congressional obligations for years. Now watching the sh*t they pull, I fear they’re to damned dumb and corrupt to retake control. I know the alphabet agency’s are the same. It should kick back to states rights and start over.
SCOTUS always leaves the best for last ….
Agree. This is the biggest decision coming out of SCOTUS, maybe in decades. We need to rein in the Administrative State.
Praying!
With Joe in the WH ???
This, if it happens is the most important SC decision in many years. The way to drain the swamp is to cut off the money flowing into the pockets of the dwellers. This is the begining of stopping that flow.
Thanks for this thread. Joining other FReepers in prayer on this one...
This is chump change compared to the Roe decision, without a right to life we have nothing. However, this is a big decision and hopefully they’ll take this unjust tyranny away from harming the people and their prosperity.
