Supreme Court’s EPA decision supports rule of law — and lower energy prices (Good News)

In striking down vast new authority that the Obama and Biden administrations had claimed for the Environmental Protection Agency , the Supreme Court stopped the expansion of, but did not roll back, the powers of bureaucracies to self-seize ever-greater power.

The decision was a clear but limited victory for those wanting to honor the Constitution’s separation of powers and restrain governmental overreach.

At issue, in terms of practical policy, was whether the EPA, when under left-wing political leadership, can force coal plants to choose (essentially) between reducing the amount of energy they produce for public use or spending billions of dollars on building new facilities using alternative energy sources. Either way, of course, the cost of energy would rise considerably.

GUNS, ABORTION, CLIMATE, COURTS

Lefties are having a massive hair on fire firestorm, lolololol

[Boomer]

I was thinking the same thing. June has been a really bad month for the control freaks.

When the Democrats lose, they set about corrupting whatever forum they lost in.

Too late!

Barn door already open...
Horses long gone...

The court gives the GOP Establishment what they want.

Yep, lefties in agony. Thing about the EPA decision is that the ruling didn’t just target the EPA. The ruling is going to extend to a wide range of Executive Branch mandates that do not have specific Congressional authorization. That means big trouble for Federal bureaucrats who are used to waving their hand and creating a rule or mandate out of thin air.

Kudlow report on this ruling.

The idiot who wrote this doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.

Read earlier posting on FR about this EPA case if you want the facts.

The EPA has vowed to ignore the ruling, and shut down all domestic drilling in the Permian Basin.

[hardspunned]

Damage is already done. These regulations, as promised by Obama, have bankrupted the industry. I live on the Ohio River and 3 of the 5 plants within 50 miles of me have closed in the last 4 years.

[Savage Beast]

The Supreme Court seems to be willing to rule on anything except the most important matter brought before it in this century: The question of widespread, well organized fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election.

NOTHING is more important;

Yet the Supreme Court justices lack the courage, moral and intellectual clarity, integrity, and sense of responsibility to do their duty to the American People, the USA, the office they hold, and to themselves.

[wintertime]

All 3 branches of government are ignoring election fraud and the neglect is federal to local and throughout the entire system.

Indeed! NOTHING is more important!

[NWFree]

Libtards have been using the EPA to screw people over for as long as I can remember and I’m no spring chicken 🤪

[Tallguy]

Congress might have to start showing up for work & doing their jobs. No more standing committee on “What Trump did that P*sses Us Off”.
