Found an interesting, and very valid, Opinion from the Supreme Court at
The Environmental Protection Agency U-n-c-o-n-s-t-i-t-u-t-i-o-n-a-l by Sheriff Richard Mack.
US Supreme Court Justice Scalia wrote the following commentary in his delivered Opinion for the case Printz v. United States (95-1478), 521 U.S. 898 (1997)
Finally, and most conclusively in the present litigation, we turn to the prior jurisprudence of this Court. Federal commandeering of state governments is such a novel phenomenon that this Court's first experience with it did not occur until the 1970's, when the Environmental Protection Agency promulgated regulations requiring States to prescribe auto emissions testing, monitoring and retrofit programs, and to designate preferential bus and carpool lanes. The Courts of Appeals for the Fourth and Ninth Circuits invalidated the regulations on statutory grounds in order to avoid what they perceived to be grave constitutional issues, see Maryland v. EPA, 530 F. 2d 215, 226 (CA4 1975); Brown v. EPA, 521 F. 2d 827, 838-842 (CA9 1975); and the District of Columbia Circuit invalidated the regulations on both constitutional and statutory grounds, see District of Columbia v. Train, 521 F. 2d 971, 994 (CADC 1975). After we granted certiorari to review the statutory and constitutional validity of the regulations, the Government declined even to defend them, and instead rescinded some and conceded the invalidity of those that remained, leading us to vacate the opinions below and remand for consideration of mootness. EPA v. Brown, 431 U.S. 99 (1977).
Although we had no occasion to pass upon the subject in Brown, later opinions of ours have made clear that the Federal Government may not compel the States to implement, by legislation or executive action, federal regulatory programs. [My bold above]
We do need a federal EPA to coordinate the various State EPA's, but that could be accomplished with ten percent of the middle/upper management and 33 percent of the bureaucrats - terminate the rest.
Looks as if this is going to be another slap-down for the EPA and the greenazis infesting it!
