The Senate has rejected a bid to stop the Obama administration from imposing regulations on greenhouse gases, giving a boost to President Barack Obama as he pursues broader clean energy legislation.

Senators turned back a resolution that would have rescinded the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

Supporters of the measure, mostly Republicans, argued that the EPA had usurped the authority of Congress to set climate policy and that the EPA regulations would increase energy costs and kill jobs.

No recovery for sure now.

I won’t click on Google if I can help it. What was the vote count?

[Lurker]

What was the vote count?

They had more than we did.

[east1234]

I can’t believe enough dim’s and rino’s haven’t realized AGW is a fraud, or at least that they are ending their own careers.

[Ingtar]

I was curious if they had a lot more or a few more than we did.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Recount!!

[Venturer]

We will get one in November.

[erkyl]

Is anyone surprised? I’m not. They know their time is limited. Watch them cram as much through as they can between now and November. Pray for our survival until then. And thank God we are a nation of laws, that can be undone!

>>No recovery for sure now.

Between this and the adverse effect of the Gulf drilling ban, you’ve got that right.

[Argus]

Next congressional term this should be item number one, right ahead of repealing Obamacare.

Defund the EPA and these other phony cabinet departments.

[Sacajaweau]

except the news will say we’re recovering.....

[skeeter]

Its looking more like the last scene of Scarface every day, with the US economy as Tony Montana and congress as Sosa’s goons.

november,,,

[WOBBLY BOB]

If they can bankrupt the energy sector , then they’ll nationalize that next.

A gubermint(free range) chicken in every pot and GE windmill in every yard.

“november,,,”

Its going to be a close thing to see if we last that long.

[kristinn]

Thanks for posting. According to the Washington Post the vote was 47 for and 53 against.

[Tzimisce]

What are you surprised?

Of course the energy price spike will be blamed on big oil, not meddling politicians.

Politicians have wonderful jobs - always treated like experts and their f**k ups are always blamed on someone else....
