I wonder what the legal basis for this ruling is? As usual with court cases, the article does not spell it out in any detail.

I agree. Where is the jurisdiction? Where is the administration breaking a law?

A federal appeals court on Wednesday blocked new Bush administration changes to the Clean Air Act from going into effect the next day, in a challenge from state attorneys general and cities that argued they would harm the environment and public health.

Are you blind? Don't you know that it is the court's Constitutional duty to continually second-guess the other two branches of government, and stop any legislation that could harm the desert pygmy rat?!

It appears that they are issuing an injuction. From the AP article:

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued an order that blocks the rules from going into effect until the legal challenge from the states and cities is heard, a process likely to last months.

Stupid article never mentions any grounds for the ruling. Mus be a 'thin-air' decision.
