WSJ Editorial Board Rebukes Biden’s Job-Killing ‘Backdoor’ Scheme to Regulate CO2
NewsBusters ^ | 3/18/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 03/18/2021 1:12:36 PM PDT by JV3MRC

The Wall Street Journal took a sledgehammer to a scheme by President Joe Biden's administration to push job-killing climate regulations without congressional approval.

A new Journal editorial exposed how “Democratic AGs, green groups and a top Biden environmental regulator are colluding on a plan to impose the Green New Deal on states through a back regulatory door because they know they can’t pass it through the front in Congress.” As the editorial described it, “Climate activists have long sought to force CO2 emissions reductions under the Clean Air Act, but this has been tricky. The Supreme Court in Massachusetts v. EPA (2007) ruled that the law’s general definition of ‘pollutant’ covered greenhouse gases.” However, “the Court didn’t tell the [Environmental Protection Agency] how it should regulate CO2 under the law.”

WSJ, you’re getting what you asked for. STFU.

If everyone would wear a tight mask, we could recycle our CO2.

Oh, shut up WSJ. Trump is gone. You helped make that happen. Now you’re living the dream. Suck it up.

The Wall Street Journal helped Biden/Harris steal the 2020 election.

I guess this wasn’t a consideration in their hell-bent drive to get Trump out of office.

Yep!
The WSJ and Bush Family worked to get Biden in.
The GOP-e fought Trump more than they fought anyone in the DNC.

Another outfit that undercut Trump at every opportunity.

Put on a happy face and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

The WSJ failed to actively report or investigate the Hunter Biden hard drive. They have virtually no credibility or honor.

Shear incompetence, all of it, for the sake of revenge.

Taken to extreme, the Biden team is anti civilization. Come the collapse, maybe they will have the biggest dung fire.

Any leftist that truly believes CO2 is dangerous to the planet should do their part and STOP EXHALING CO2.

for the sake of revenge.

And the question, as always, is revenge for WHAT, exactly?

Reminds me of a comment I read awhile back. "No one ever called Donald Trump a racist until he beat an old white woman for President."

I subscribe to the WSJ and they did not support Biden. They were constantly warning of the dangers of a Biden/Harris presidency.

How often do you read the WSJ?
They might have preferred someone other than Trump but that certainly wasn’t Biden.

That makes no difference or sense.

It was very clear to those who actually read the WSJ that given a choice between Trump and Biden, the Journal vastly preferred Trump to Biden. It really doesn’t matter whether the Journal would have preferred a GOP nominee other than Trump, that wasn’t the choice presented.
