Ruling just being released...
What a load of crap.
H.A.A.R.P. says it all...
EPA reply's: Okay we considered them and found them to be stupid so thank you very much.
If this isn't a late April fool's day joke, then I don't understand why people actually think the Supreme Court will actually overturn Roe v Wade. We might wish they would do so, but it's highly unlikely. Something happens to people when they get to DC and whatever that something is, it's not good.
The best way to save the planet is to pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting Congress from passing any law designed to change earth's climate.
If you like government controlled economies, wait'll they start trying to control the weather.
Ruling was 5-4 that the EPA did not take into account proper considerations in 2003 when it decided not to order reductions in emissions from new automobiles.
Where do they get off on this!? Our supreme court is a disgrace. What was the vote, does anybody know?
And the five USSC justices, of course, know what are "proper" considerations when it comes to geophysical science.
What a shame they didn't rule to dissolve the EPA altogether.
Sort of forcing them to produce some "science."
So now the damn Supreme Court is taking on global warming? Where is that in the Constitution? God Help Us!
Supreme Court also ruled that a previously barred lawsuit to allow the federal government to force emission reductions at 8 Duke Energy coal power plants can proceed.
I figured it was something like this.
MR. MILKEY: "Respectfully, Your Honor, it is not the stratosphere. It's the troposphere.
JUSTICE SCALIA: "Troposphere, whatever. I told you before I'm not a scientist."
(Laughter.)
JUSTICE SCALIA: "That's why I don't want to have to deal with global warming, to tell you the truth."
Supreme Court rules against Duke Energy

WASHINGTON --The Supreme Court gave a boost Monday to a federal clean air initiative aimed at forcing utilities to install pollution control equipment on aging coal-fired power plants.
In a unanimous decision, the justices ruled against Duke Energy Corp. in a lawsuit brought by the Clinton administration, part of a massive enforcement effort targeting more than a dozen utilities.
The justices ruled that the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., overstepped its authority by implicitly invalidating Environmental Protection Agency regulations in a way that favored Duke. The case now returns to the lower courts.
The enforcement program is aimed at reducing power plant emissions of nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide that contribute to smog and acid rain. Sulfur dioxide is the leading cause of acid rain.
Supremes may have lost it.......
We have gone over the edge.
Keep checking here for the opinion.
The verdict is in. We're GUILTY. CO2 has been ruled as a pollutant, and since we all exhale, we are criminals. Each household shall now be taxed accordingly by number of persons in it.
