Its beyond that now. These two traitors and grifters are destroying thenation and the GOP could care less.
Congress gave them all the authority they exercise, Congress has ABSOLUTE authority over everything they do, and Congress can repeal the Environmental Protection Act (which created the problem) by a simple majority vote.
I am no longer interested in any Member of Congress who does not support repeal.
"Defunding" them is stupid.
Repeal the law, the problem ceases to exist.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the GOP to do anything about it.
Have one senator and one congressman insert an amendment into any (all?) legislation that states something like the following:
“No government agency, organization, or entity created by Congress shall have legislative or judicial powers. For the purpose of this amendment, “legislative power” shall be construed to mean the making of any rule violation of which renders a citizen of any state or the United States to imprisonment, fine, or other punishment. “Judicial power” shall be construed to mean, the holding of any evidentiary hearing not presided over by an Article III court or the issuance of findings which result in imprisonment, fine, or punishment of a citizen of any state or the United States.”
Zero their budget in January. Pretty simple stuff.
I can't speak about the EPA grab, but the GOP is definitely gonna fight the FCC. Go read this. No reason they couldn't do the same thing with the EPA.
The Congressional Review Act will be a powerful tool for the GOP.
Screw that. Overturn Wickard v Filburn and de-authorize them.
Is this more evidence of the belief that Obama will NOT moderate in order to win reelection? Or will he keep up the leftism till the last possible moment, and then do a few token things which seem centrist, right before the election? /half-rhetorically
That will seem minor when the $213 that you actually pay for the services jumps by 50%...
Or when you flip the switch and the lights don't come on...
"Double Down"
Obama loves that phrase, he uses it all the time.
He's going to "wee wee up" the country, no matter what we say.
Time to "double down" on bringing the EPA to its knees.
De-fund EPA.
Burn them for extra energy.
Repealing the law is a non-starter. Such a move would be dead in the Senate. It would not even be brought for a vote.
CO2 emitted from instect respiration ~50 billion tons.
What are the chances EPA will deploy DDT to mitigate the CO2 emissions from insects?
Then it needs to be a matter if it will, or they will.
Yes.
Agreed. The clean air act has become a mantra, even though it was designed over 30 years ago, to deal with the environmental issues of 30+ years ago. In that time - virtually all of those issues have been resolved. There are a few things here and there but in general - we have the cleanest environment in any industrialized nation.
The longer the CAA is allowed to dictate expansions in our economy the longer we will be in a recession or bleeding jobs overseas. Until that is fixed we will be applying 1970's approaches to 2010 issues and killing jobs for little or no environmental improvement...
It's amazing to me how few of us see it for what it is.
They are far too busy racing to vote to implement the rest of the usurper's America hating agenda.
It is not only that they could care less, many of the GOP Seantors are helping them.
