The progressive mentality dictates that it is the end that justifies the means. That has been politics in Oregon for 15 years now. The people vote in laws and the court throws it out under a technicality that didn't exist until that first ruling and so a precedent is set. Now, the legislature is effectively deemed irrelevant because they just don't realize how serious global warming is to the world. For what its worth, the governor and Charles Ringo are both lawyers.

House Republicans...decided that a prohibition on cleaner cars and cleaner air was a vital issue in the final budget package.

Republicans PROHIBITED cleaner cars and cleaner air?????

"I spoke to many very sober-minded, coolly analytical scientists who, in essence, warned of the end of the world as we know it."

It's the end of the world as we know it?!?! But I feel fine.

LOL...any state that has a "Governor's Advisory Group on Global Warming" deserves to be pointed at and ridiculed by the sane people of the country.

Washington state will implement similar standards if Oregon does the same.

The commies in our capitol couldn't wait, and went ahead without you. Washington implemented California emissions standards this year.

I hate to say it, but if you support overpopulating this nation, increased pollution, and increased costs in countering it will be the result. I appreciate the efforts of environmentalists because without emissions regs, methinks we'd be in deep doo-doo in Caleeeforneea.
