They don’t need to honor no stinking’ 10Th Amendment!

(The Court is in willful abeyance and has been since the 1930s.)

CO2 is not a pollutant.
CO2 is essential for life.

Congress has been unwilling to legislate on, knowing that policies that increase energy costs for questionable environmental benefits do not sit well with its constituents

Since when has congress given a fig for what their constituents think.

“CO2 is not a pollutant.
CO2 is essential for life.”

And all life on the planet would do well with more of it.

Wickard v. Filburn

Overruled that decision, along with United States v. Darby, and we will most of the way back to having Commerce Clause being within the limits intended by the Founding Fathers.

Yep. RINOs would rather campaign against the EPA than actually do something about them,

"Wickard v. Filburn"

Since you mentioned Wickard v. Filburn (Wickard), using inappropriate terms like "concept" and "implicit," here is what was left of 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty after FDR's state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices got finished with it in Wickard.

The 10th Amendment means that the Constitution's silence on environmental protections actually means the following.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

The ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big, alleged election-stealing, Democratic Party-pirated federal and state governments manufacturing crises to oppress everybody under their boots...

Consider that all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.

Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.

Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

Again, insights welcome.

I'm not saying, you'll just have to guess. :)

Let’s hope they rule that since politicians emit voluminous amounts of CO2 while speaking, they must be regulating and gagged.

Would homeowners with a big mud puddle in their driveway have standing contest the EPA’s designation of it as a wetland?
