The West Virginia v. EPA decision is a good but modest beginning at vindicating the Constitution against the New Deal assault. Let us hope that it is the camel's nose inside the tent.

I know the fubocare decision is not popular here, but it did contain a few gold nuggets, one of which was the elimination of unfunded government mandates.
Now, if a nasty ass lawyer wanted to combine these two rulings......
Could bankrupt the EPA...

No one can ever look for socialist justices to ever base any of their arguments on any proper constitutional basis. They despise the constitution.

They cite feelings, guesses, wishes, lies, amd try to invent constitutional reasons that GET SLAPPED DOWN...

Possibly.

Although the ruling have had an underlying theme.

Except in cases where the Constitution says "You may NOT..." the right of states to do as they wish is upheld. Even if it is bad or stupid stuff.

Which to me is quite significant.

One size does not fit all.

We now need a case to break the Wickard v. Filburn decision.
It too was decided on a magical reading of the Constitution.

They shut down the largest coal fired plant in the West, the Navajo power plant, because, the power was too expensive!
Not really, coal is still the cheapest energy source, but they loaded them with so many EPA rules and mandates, that eventually coal was more expensive than solar! Incredible!

BTW the plant and associated coal mine and railroad provided 50% of Navajo nation income and 80% of Hopi Nation income.
Most of the jobs were Natives from Navajo and Hopi reservations. Thanks Obama!
It cost then billions to shut down the plant.
They successfully retrained one employee for IT job!!!

SCOTUS found the EPA doesn’t have the authority. BranDUHn’s EPA don’t care what SCOTUS said thus will simply ignore the ruling.

Where does a government agency, let alone one created by executive fiat, derive the authority to create law, let alone law contrary to the will of Congress? The authorization certainly did not come from the Constitution.


It came from Dirty Ticks Noxious Nixon.

Is she a justice to uphold the constitution or is she simply a political hack?

Trust me. When backed into a judicial corner the Left will ignore the floor plan. Heads must roll.

Could be. Only if the courts grant standing to sue over excessive rule making outside of specific statutory wording.

Admin state=deep state.

Yes. A very good start! As someone who deals with federal legislation every day by a DC-based regulatory body, we certainly hope this doctrine spreads to other federal agencies — and sooner rather than later.

Reversal of glenshaw glass will starve the beast which was the way the constitution was written. Undeclare the wage tax as income and restore the direct tax requirement.

Was the EPA Case the Most Significant of the Historic Supreme Court Term?

That decision might be good for our economy and more significant to the average American, but the Roe vs Wade decision was far more relevant tot he God who controls our destiny. Economies come and go, rise or fall, but God's Word stands the test of time.
