So much for checks-and-balances.

One of these days we'll have to go about checks-and-balances the old fashioned way.

We need a revolution.

A Supreme Court Justice diddle daddles over the question of how much control the EPA should have over power companies, instead of ruling that she finds no authority in the US Constitution for the EPA to exist at all.

We need a revolution.

According to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, federal judges should stay the hell away from the EPA and stick to the issues they know something about - like gay marriage.

As I see it, Obama was given two jobs: Destroy the US economy and get as many people dependent on government as possible to 'aid the transition' to socialism/communism/one world government. So far he's done a lot of damage. . .

Why do we keep talking & bitching. The time has well past for that revolution. Now if ya can find 50 people willing you will be lucky. We totally deserve what we get via our inaction.

We have slow-moving revolutions. We just had one last November. In 2012 we’ll have another; in 2014 and 2016, others. By then the evil done by the Obamatrons will be known by all. They will pay with unemployment and public shunning. It took the Lefty fascists 45 years to get this far, and that was with the drooling lapdogedness of the Rancid Media. Oh, we have revolutions all right.

"Congress set up the EPA to promulgate standards for emissions, and the relief you're seeking seems to me to set up a district judge, who does not have the resources, the expertise, as a kind of super EPA," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Tuesday.
IOW, it's not up to the court to fix the mess Congress created, it's up to Congress...

Good luck with that in this all talk, no action, weak-kneed bunch.

Frankly, I lost interest in all this blah blah blah after a couple of paragraphs.

I take it we lost the case.

"Congress set up the EPA to promulgate standards for emissions, and the relief you're seeking seems to me to set up a district judge, who does not have the resources, the expertise, as a kind of super EPA," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Tuesday.

And yet the Supreme Court itself, which does not have the resources or expertise, felt itself qualified to rule carbon dioxide to be a greenhouse gas fully subject to regulation by the EPA.

The case comes after the Supreme Court ruled in 2009 that greenhouse-gas emissions could be regulated under the Clean Air Act if EPA found they endanger public health and welfare. The high court's decision formed the underpinning for its authority to issue climate regulations.

In this ruling the Court indicated that the method they would hear to overthrow EPA greenhouse gas nonsense was by arguing empirical evidence for the lack of harm. That's the way they want to go, and that's what should be argued, because the scientific evidence is overwhelming that there is no harm from the release of these gases by human sources, compared to their release by natural sources and their overall amounts anyway.

Instead, we get a suit over State or EPA control over power companies. It's a setup to fail.

They punted the .. passed vapor control back to the states.. and then kicked us all in the .. uhhh.. or good measure..

Our institutions are pervaded by wimps, weinies, liars and foul critters.. sad to see the court let go of its senses, or maybe not.

At this present point in time it is imperative and primary that every mechanism of established order executes every power available to disrupt civilization via any means.

This is a necessary thing required for reestablishment of new order. Many understand this. Many more do not. Most are just confused.

Anyone else feel we're at a tipping point? It feels like "We the People" have to do something soon, or it's all over. November 6, 2012, yeah, I can see it from my house, but damn, it seems like a long way off. . .
