Upton and Phillips complain that EPA -- despite the regulatory power given to it in 2007 under a Supreme Court interpretation of the Clean Air Act -- should await the outcome of further litigation about the way EPA is going about exercising that regulatory authority.

So Upton, a Member of Congress and the chairman of an important committee, thinks that the EPA's authority is subject, not to Congress, but to the courts?

EPA is a creature of Congress. Any authority it possesses is the result, not of LITIGATION, but of LEGISLATION.

Legislation is Upton's G-D JOB!

If Upton does not have the balls to abolish the EPA, the least he can do is zero out its budget.

"Await the outcome of further litigation" indeed!

Glad you said that. Exactly.

Appears to me Upton is looking for a direction to point the finger of blame rather than do his G-D job.
