I keep having this recurring hope that Perry calls out the Rangers to escort any DC EPA officials back to the airport, making it clear they are not welcome here.

Where’s Rick?


Super pissed off, I would guess. This on top of Bamster sending National Guard troops to Arizona but not to Texas after Perry asked for help with the border...on top of death care...

The commies are a bit full of themselves.

"We’re better off with a slow, thoughtful, careful response through tort law than a single, all-powerful federal agency."

It's not worth most people's time to sue. Much less prove that they've exceeded legal discharge limits. You need government for that kind of operation. But never ever should you have any "all-powerful" federal agency. That would be unconstitutional.

Time for the states to push back, hard.

My entire point. Most torts are too small to bother with and inconsequential anyway. Let big problems be managed aggressively, but small ones will work themselves out.

“I think the writing will be on the wall — unless we start seeing better permits that address our objections, we are very likely to begin federalizing others,”

I'm sorry but is this story about Texas or Venezuela?
