The EPA is part of the “administrative state”, the name for federal agencies whose edicts have the force of law.
Congress has the power to create law, but somehow handed off this power to administrative agencies.
The EPA was proposed by Nixon BTW. The growth of the administrative state has been a bipartisan project.
There’s been a long simmering argument that granting federal agencies this power is very much illegal; Congress can’t decide to turn over the power to create law to these agencies.
This SCOTUS decision might be the first blow against the ever expanding power grab by unaccountable bureaucrats.

I hope so. I want to get rid of the High Efficiency washing machines. They don’t allow enough water to wash our clothes well.
