The Environmental Protect Agency (EPA) was attempting to restrict the energy production from coal-based power plants through a regulatory cap-and-trade scheme intended to limit the emissions from electricity plants. However, by a 6-3 vote the Supreme Court said today the Clean Air Act does not give the EPA broad authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. [pdf Ruling Here] The regulation -if any- must come from congress, not regulatory fiat from an executive agency.
New York Post – The Supreme Court rolled back the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants Thursday, dealing a massive blow to the Biden administration’s plans to fight climate change.
The 6-3 decision overturned a lower court ruling that gave the federal agency virtually unlimited regulatory powers through the Clean Air Act. […] Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts agreed with the states that “it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme.”
“A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body,” he added.
Roberts also noted that the EPA claimed to have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions only after Congress declined to expand that authority through legislation.
“At bottom, the Clean Power Plan essentially adopted a cap-and-trade scheme, or set of state cap-and-trade schemes, for carbon,” the chief justice wrote. ” … Congress, however, has consistently rejected proposals to amend the Clean Air Act to create such a program. It has also declined to enact similar measures, such as a carbon tax … Given these circumstances, our precedent counsels skepticism toward EPA’s claim …” (read more)
NATO has threatened China
Trucking collapse
She’s not wrong. Trucking market is a bloodbath right now.
NATO has to be expanded to include G7 Member Japan as well as associate members with active applications Australia, New Zealand and potentially other Asian Nations.
There used to be a Pacific-Asian Centric Defense Pact built to counter China Inc. as well as the USSR, called SEATO. The framework of SEATO mirrored NATO as well as included the USA and Canada (current NATO and G7 members). SEATO was disbanded in 1977 in favor of a more economic centric set of International Agreements.
SEATO can easily be resurrected and seamlessly integrated with NATO.
It is also obvious that NATO has morphed to become Politically Oriented Alliance. This pre-empts the EU Military.
Carving the world into 2-4 blocks is a step in the globalist plan.
Why stop at 2-4? Why not 10? That might be a bit more obvious what’s in store once it gets rolling.
Ten horns? Revelations 17:12-14??
That’s a great idea if you like the prospect of nuclear annihilation via World War 3. Japan spends about 1.5% of its GDP on military expenditures. Why do we need more deadbeat allies than we already have, which is virtually all of NATO?
By the way, NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not Globalist Hegemony Treaty Organization. And we already have a mutual defense pact with the feeble Japanese surrender monkeys who refuse to arm themselves with nukes, which is one of the things they need to deal with China.
Do you realize that all of our so-called allies are just dead beat client states of that won’t provide adequately for their own defense because they know that Uncle Sap will subsidize them endlessly at the expense of the already overburdened U.S. taxpayer?
Personally I am sick and tired of paying for the military budget of every chickenshit country that claims to be our ally. AS A NATION WE ARE BROKE AND CAN’T AFFORD TO TAKE ON ANYMORE INTERNATIONAL PARASITE COUNTRIES!
Japan’s limitations have been imposed by Washington.
You seem to have unkind feelings towards them.
Yeah, after WW2, ensuring that there will never be an imperial Japanese military.
Or that Japan would be a military power again.
Well aware of that, but not a point upon which to call them cowardly parasites.
Eisenhower in 1950 thought that we would be out of NATO in ten years and Europe would be taking are of itself after they had time to rebuild. Like every other government program, it has everlasting life and mission creep.
Simple translation: “This Means World War III.” The only thing that we need is for “Russia” to blink.
And – this will be the very best thing to happen to “climate change.”
Got that?
Now, just as Russia “turned off the valves” to Europe, maybe China should now do the same thing to the United States. Simply order 100% of those Chinese merchant ships now parked off the United States coast to return home with their cargo.
Next, when it finally becomes “dimly aware” to the United States that it must somehow manufacture things – that there ever was some value to the concept of “America First” – viciously sue them. “Because climate!” Now that you suddenly realize that you are deprived of your only source for underwear and socks, we will now submerge your courts in cases which assert that, “should you build the domestic capability to manufacture underwear and socks (or anything else), ‘the entire world would melt down within thirty years.'” 🤡
Just curious here, but, what if Putin/Russia see through all of this and play it cool by doing nothing. I realize this is a long shot but if they simply make Biden/US and NATO Allies look like fools for whipping all this frenzy up hoping to provoke Russia into reacting but if they do nothing then NATO et al will be exposed and have no one to blame. I may be thinking to simply but I keep recalling that scene in the Hunt for Red October when the American Sub was silently trailing the Red October until they activated the torpedo doors which tipped off the Russian sub commander he was being followed, but he just played it cool and did nothing at all to provoke or invite the American sub to fire at him.
Putin has already made NATO and the US look like fools
Its not really very challenging, to make fools look like fools.
Just stay out of their way.
You are correct Sir!
There’s a False Flag for that.
Russia can, and IMHO will, ignore the saber rattling from the Davos Cabal.
They have all they need, energy, domestic manufacturing, customers for their products.. and with BRICS they have created the counterpart to the Davos Cabal finance machine.
IMHO, Putin and Russia will keep going at it in Ukraine. The break away Eastern provinces have, or soon will have, referendums on independence and/or joining Russia. So, what if it takes a year or more? Time in on their side. Just wait until Autumn hits Western Europe and it gets COLD in there.
Machiavelli sang the praise of doing nothing in a situation, and how often it is the best course of action. This is exactly what Putin should do here.
They want war because they want the legal censorship that goes along with it, and the emergency powers to do just about anything, including of course permanent play democracy with universal vote by phone forever.
AND, because they CAN NOT forward their “Great Reset” agenda, justified with the false narrative of Climate Change, with Putins Russia A) a Nuclear power B) a major Oil producer C) a NATIONALIST country/government that will NEVER accept surrendering its soveriegnity to some World Government.
So, in some way, they must change that dynamic. A “color revolution”, deposing Putin and installing a WEF stooge, if that would work.
Thinking they could at least create the illusion of a “World Concensus” for their “conscience of the World must support valient Ukraine”, cause it worked with “valient, moderate freedom fighters in ME (that turned out to be ISIS) and every other corrupt regime (S Vietnam, for instance).
And, the World has had enough of that,..and so they have provoked a cleaving, with many countries tired of the “Bully Diplomacy” of the U.S.
In short, what has “always worked BEFORE, simply ISN’T working, THIS time.
They have lost CREDIBILITY, and they are standing in the doorway of the dark room, repeatedly flicking the light switch, marveling that the light stays off.
They have no idea why “things” that have ALWAYS ‘worked’ before,…aren’t working, now.
And, Ukraine is going to run out of fighting age men fairly soon, and Russia will achieve all the gains they want. It will be amusing to see what Western leaders do when they are massively exposed as liars.
At the rate of losing 300 killed a day the Ukrainian Army is going to running on “E” pretty soon.
Through clever machinations the British Empire has transferred to the US.
I’ve always enjoyed your posts, but this is just so very spot on I had to comment. I know everyone here knows it, but I just find it pathetic that our intentionally inept regime is strutting around Europe and the world telling our “allies” that we’ve got this, and that we can pave the way for WEF style climate change measures with our stellar military and our superior planning insights. It boggles the mind that anyone would believe them. And I hope, as you have stated, that they don’t believe us and they’ve had enough. God knows we’ve had enough here.
China can’t. We are somewhere near 40 or more % of their economy. If China doesn’t sell to us, their economy collapses and their banks fail.
If only there were some way they could reduce the number of mouths they have to feed . . .
If China along with Russia nuke us back to the Stone Age this will cover any bank failure or economic collapse. Please understand that these two nuclear powers are far stronger than the US. They have planned on taking us out since the beginning of their rule. Read JR Niquist blog for a more comprehensive review of what is in store.
China and the US are tied together in a dance of death.
If they do not have the US as a consumer market, their economy fails, their banks fail, and that government gets taken down. The Chinese middle class has now become a giant in chains for the government there.
Having the US as a consumer market necessarily means having to deal with the unruly American public. They aren’t worried about the politicians (those were bought out with the yuan a long time ago) – it’s the people that could take back their compromised government and pose huge problems for the One Belt-One Road plans.
from years ago
what if they gave a war and nobody came?

Nailed it. Joey gotta pay back the “oracle” of Omaha
An absolute horror in the making! Military industrial complex is in full battle dress with our civilization as cannon fodder/nuclear waste victims.
WTF does that have to do with SCOTUS checking the EPA’s overreach? And, its the first post I see.
Second page, but yes, way OT.
And this relates to the EPA ruling, how?
I bet the Chinese are shaking in their shoes…Not
Well, somebody ought to.
Maybe the EPA should look into regulating sun spots. The potential harm from them is much greater.
😄🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The sun is ~99.85% of the entire mass in the system with Jupiter more than half of that remaining .15%. They are utterly impotent on that scale.
Let them tilt at sunspots.
Does this in any way stop Joe from cutting off fossil fuels?
Not really, just needs to get more creative with the filmflammery.
Well, California voted to tax space travel…..
Because they want fewer billionaires paving the way for a future of hope and abundance.
Also because they have projectile envy.
That’s why Musk is moving all of his stuff to Texas… He doesn’t want to deal with the Board of Equalization in his Mars megapolis.
They should also be taking a much closer look at Uranus while they’re at it.
They can look at YOURS, but keep away from MINE, thank you.
“Not that theres anything WRONG with it.”
So…you’re certain there’s not a ring around Uranus?
I’m assuming you’ll be here all week 😂
Yeah, let them have NASA launch a manned probe, to land on the surface of the Sun,…oh, its o.k…..they will land at NIGHT! 😉
PLEASE don’t give them any ideas or encouragement!!!
I hear the dark side of the sun is nice this time of year.
I bet aoc told you that.
Dutchman, Reminds me of an ethnic joke eons ago 🤗😁.
Maybe some Globalists would be good canidates for that mission. Especially since most of their work is in the dark🤔🤔🤗
there are not many of them atm….we are in a period of solar minimum causing a COOLING effect…..few of the computer models account for the warming of the sun as one of their variables in the climate models they program….DUUUUH
Are these the same modelers that worked on the Covid Models? It’s remarkable the predictions never come close to reality.
They were never intended to.
Such a waste of human capital and resources pursing this perverse fantasy.
Remember GIGO, (Garbage In Garbage Out). Now with the WOKE, CRT, math is hard group.
There is a massive loss of commonsense. No checking if the answer is in the ball park, it the correct thread is taken, etc.
Arrogant enough to think they can put sanctions on the sun. /s
In several decisions of late, the Court has finally begun to attack what is euphemistically called “substantive due process” – which is a code-word for “judges and justices write laws out of whole cloth.” Now, they are applying the same principle to administrative agencies.
Legislatures, at various levels of government, have broad powers to pretty much “do whatever they want,” but they are the only ones who do. Unfortunately, these Legislatures (including Congress) have been far too willing to let Courts and Administrative Agencies do their dirty work for them. And, these parties have also been far too willing to do it.
Lawmaking is supposed to be an ugly, difficult process that is carried out by hundreds of quarreling people in great big rooms – people who are forced by circumstances to achieve consensus leading to compromise. It’s not supposed to be “an ‘utterance’ by seven justices,” nor just one “Judge.” And, it’s not supposed to be a similar ‘administrative order.’
“De facto Laws” were never meant to be imposed. It was never supposed to be that easy. You gotta fight.
And, as the 10th Amendment clearly states, Congress is not supposed to be “one Legislature to rule them all.” Our nation consists of fifty United States, and that underlined word is supposed to really mean something. 🧐 “Something different, in each place.” It should be more important and more influential to be a member of a State Legislature, than to be a member of Congress.
Maybe we are finally “clawing our way back from that precipice.” However, let the record show that many of the concurring Justices in these recent decisions have been on the Court for many decades. These are not(!) “Trump appointees” who are making the difference now.
Yes…SCOTUS decided a very important case under FDR which authorized broad delegation of powers to administrative agencies…That has led to this nightmare of regulation..This decision still allows that, but forces Congress to specifically authorize extensive schemes…The CDC mandate case was also reversed since Congress never gave them any power to do so….
The Chevron Doctrine under which federal agencies have been operating in a lawless nature, was actually decided in 1984.
I remember that year – the year the final provisions of the ’79 Windfall Profits Tax (WPT) law went into effect to take away the “unfair” profits of the domestic oil industry.
The Chevron Doctrine basically allowed the EPA to eviscerate the oil industry after the WPT “unexpectedly” brought the oil industry to its knees. It took 10 years for the industry to recover from those blows.
As many blockbuster rulings have come down this term, this one might be the most important.
And yes, it is supposed to be THESE United States, not THE United States. We can thank the progressive, socialist tyrant Lincoln for that change.
You could say Kavanaugh made a difference in today’s “remain in Mexico” ruling….a negative one.
He doesn’t have a backbone of steel.
He doesn’t have a backbone
of steel.I think he can cry on cue
Jell-O perhaps?
The confirmation hearings broke him instead of tempering him…
Great comment, spot on.
next, extrapolate this decision across government…
In virtually every instance where Congress created or expanded an agency or depts authority, if they wrote generalised legislation, and left it up to agencies to actually write the law thru regulation, they can be challenged.
And, this is not the ONLY way the Federal govt has expropriated authority not granted it, under the Constitution.
The Federal Govt has NO “Police Powers” under the Constitution, they are reserved to the States.
There are so many areas where the Fed govt has exceeded its Constitutional authority, and only ‘gotten away with it’ because We, the People and our State officials did not stand up, and assert States rights at the outset.
Good news is, there is no “statute of limitations”; State Governments CAN Sue, and the case is fast tracked directly to SCOTUS, because it is an inherently Constitutional issue.
We just need DeSantis to NOT be the lones star, we need A1’s in Gov, State Legislature leadership, SoS , AG’S, as we saw with PDJT’s first term, having just the executive isn’t enough. We need a whole contingent to be not Dems OR Rinos, but A1 and dedicated.
If the GOP were worth a damn, it would have orchestrated a litigation scenario in conjunction with key state officials to hit the courts tomorrow with a wave of suits that would bring the Biden Admin’s megalomaniacal power grabs to a screeching halt.
The Greedy Old Possums are indeed worth a damn, they’ve earned their damnation.
Right on cue … Roberts and Kavenaugh sided with the Progressives to allow ending of Title 42 … the US Borders are now officially WIDE OPEN.
In the Opinion on the ruling Justice ROBERTS called the immigrants “refugees” per the new definitions developed by the JoeBama administration. The term “refugee” was the foundational basis of the opinion written by Roberts. This is crucial as it means there is NO stopping DHS shipping “refugees” into the US Interior as they “await hearings”. DHS can declare all forms of immigrants as “REFUGEES” at will.
As I have stated before (credit to Charlie Kirk, I believe), Roberts is never there when we need him, only when we don’t.
Every citizen of the globe will be a refugee when the Conspiracy crushes their crops and Team Zero promises to feed them our own sustenance if only they can get here.
Destroy it and they will come.
Believe it or not, when they’ve finished, ever country on the globe will be a S#!t’ole, and that ironically may be the antidote to mass migration. What’s the point of going anywhere – 1 ‘ole is as bad as the next. Maybe it’ll come down to the view or the weather.
They are being invited and sold a bill of goods about our utopia and they will be utterly desperate.
Countries have seen famine, regions have seen famine, but the entire world as a whole has never seen famine before. This will be ugly as anything humanity has ever seen.
Hunger is a powerful motive for mass migration, always has been. Rationality goes out the window and mere rumors will bring floods of people anywhere they can imagine finding hope.
These people are being made weapons, to overwhelm other peoples.
I so wish to Heaven this wasn’t true.
And I will guard my family’s food with deadly force. I have no compassion for grifters traveling coach class in jets over seas to get here to wear ‘Biden Let Us In’ t-shirts while kneeling for photo ops at the border wearing size triple xxx large clothing. These porkers aren’t here because they are hungry or naked.
And when they get here, they are handed EBT cards with hundreds of thousands of dollars on them.
They are not fleeing hunger in their home country – they are marching in to compete for our food.
They are unwitting pawns within an orchestrated humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.
If Trump interpreted the 1944 law and implemented it for covid19, then Biden can reinterpret it and not.
If the CDC finds that a disease does pose a threat, it can, with approval from the president, temporarily prohibit them from entering the country to avert danger.
This is in some ways a win and others a disaster. The win is that if SlowJoe and the CDC don’t enforce it anymore, COVID is dead!
If only that was case. Read the opinion. That was not what Roberts wrote … he accepted the DHS calling immigrants of any type REFUGEES at will. This is a disaster of the first order.
That’s a simplificaton of what they wrote.
The term REFUGEE has massive legal ramifications far beyond this ruling.
Simplification, summary .. fact that the term REFUGEE is the core of the decision remains.
This ruling will increase the cost of illegal immigration in terms of monies spent by cities and towns to feed and house these pukes, and will create even more crime and drug use in the streets. The result might be even more pissed off people than there are right now and, hopefully, an even bigger red wave come November.
Og for crying out loud, Roberts apparently doesn’t understand Joe doesn’t get to tell him how to interpret the Constitution.
And we have laws that define the process people must go through to establish themselves as “refugees”. Marauding our border isn’t it!
Ticker Guy comes through with a detailed analysis:
EPA Gets Kneecapped At The USSC
This is an interesting decision that will have very wide-ranging consequences.
First up, however — it does not eliminate what is known as the Chevron Deference doctrine. It nips at the edge, but as is the usual Supreme Court practice if they can find a reasoned way to not do something like that, they don’t. They did, thus they didn’t.
“It is pertinent to the Court’s analysis that EPA has acted consistent with such a limitation for four decades. But the only question before the Court is more narrow: whether the “best system of emission reduction” identified by EPA in the Clean Power Plan was within the authority granted to the Agency in Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act. For the reasons given, the answer is no. Pp. 28–31.”
Chevron is more-broad than this, but not by a great deal — it’s a matter of degree, not act. For this reason the decision is very, very consequential.
Here’s the key to the entire case:
“Since passage of the Act 50 years ago, EPA has exercised this authority by setting performance standards based on measures that would reduce pollution by causing plants to operate more cleanly. In 2015, however, EPA issued a new rule concluding that the “best system of emission reduction” for existing coal-fired power plants included a requirement that such facilities reduce their own production of electricity, or subsidize increased generation by natural gas, wind, or solar sources.
The question before us is whether this broader conception of EPA’s authority is within the power granted to it by the Clean Air Act.”
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=246247
So what you’re saying is that the EPA could not limit the number of livestock on farms in order to reduce flatulence and force them to make fake meat.
Or, it could not regulate how many gas powered cars can be sold, and mandate how many EV’s they need to sell.
In MN our dear leader Walz has mandated car dealers are required to have 26% or some number of EV’s for sale. Walz is so stupid that he doesn’t realize the car dealers will jack up the EV prices so they sell slowly and bring in big profit while selling the crap out of gas vehicles at a reduced priced. Just maintain that percentage for sale by NOT selling EV’s and you’re good to go.
It stands to reason the EPA cannot, for example, limit the number of cars manufactured or sold, even though that is the “best system of emissions reduction”.
This might be taken in a somewhat broader context. If the swamp scum at the EPA can’t dictate the crushing of America, it goes to reason neither can the Department of Energy, Transportation or any of the other leftist nazis. Hopefully it means; Take your Green New Scam and shove it
only reduces emissions at the tailpipe……birth to death EVs are MORE polluting than a modern ICE
Not to mention going all electric cars would require massive mining on a scale humanity has never seen, extracting and processing as much material as we’ve mined in the past 70,000 years, and that’s not even counting creating all the Unicorn Flatulence Capture Facilities to charge them.
Fossil fuels are almost entirely part of the original accretion of the planet, present before life itself and likely a vital agent in the sustenance of early life, and could last us many centuries while we develop clean fusion and fission technologies with which we can extract carbon from the atmosphere and hydrogen from water and create clean liquid fuels as energy dense as we wish in order to drive internal combustion engines or fuel cells optimized for them, and we would have much lighter cleaner and, gasp, sustainable energy than anything being proposed by the ninnies and the twits.
There is abundant reason for Hope, yet evil promotes its scarcity.
There is also another issue not addressed by the decision … the EPA was establishing a TAX.
You have made a key point citing — “Since passage of the Act 50 years ago, EPA has exercised this authority by setting performance standards based on measures that would reduce pollution by causing plants to operate more cleanly. …”
The Court also has an issue with the EPA exceeding its role of performance standard development and enforcement … by assuming the authority to mandate and forcing answers.
Or…
Maybe supreme court judges like their air conditioning.
Thanks for the link, clarion. Well worth reading.
While the potential impact of this decision is huge, it’ll require our pols to get off their ass and leverage it. I wish I could be optimistic about this happening.
Rolling Stone headline:
“Supreme Court Rules 6-3 That The Planet Should Burn”
PRESIDENT TRUMP WON
Yes, this was a huge win for Trump and for all clear thinking people. Now if they’ll just apply this ruling as precedent for more of the *regulation* (rather than law) that other departments of the government are using to control us.
Climate change is a religious cult. The EPA (and the IPCC) is the proponent’s church issuing Fatwas.
The libtards sure are a part of many insane religious cults…..the climate change cult, the baby murder cult, Karl Marx cult, covid cult, Lord Fauci cult etc
They are all in service of the same cult.
Only the highest low down scum know the full brief.
Getting Brandon and Obama out of the White House won’t only save us economically, but hopefully stop most of this madness and restore our Constitutional Rights.
….over the long run, it won’t matter who is in the white house until the agencies and bureaucracies undergo a scorched-earth cleanup.
Scorched-earth cannot be emphasized enough here.
“The modern left has to be destroyed on such a scale as their dangerous ideology is reduced to burning embers;”

So true. And who has the guts to do that? I can think of only two possibilities: Trump and DeSantis.
Mark Shepard on Restoration Agriculture – Observation (climate, gases) vs Concept (change/constant, greenhouse)… off base concepts… make mgmt decisions in wrong direction (EPA regs) http://bit.ly/1lM3PFS
Is SCOTUS sensing that the current administration is dying or fearful that the tectonic plates are shifting under the mass movement towards true conservative principles and wants to avoid a reckoning with, ‘We the People’.
The majority of students I teach are rejecting most of the central pillars of the wokeists, listening to music from decades earlier and are becoming more socially conservative. I have noticed though that the schemers and weak students have wholeheartedly embraced these positions, especially black students who positively revel in the power they have been given.
Those reveling may end up like the white do-gooder in the soccer stadium in Salt with a black kid with an AK pointing at their head telling them ‘The teacher says good night.’ Only the colors will be reversed. People don’t take suppression forever and backlashes lead to piles of corpses every time.
…and maybe appoint another justice of the Supremes?
Maybe a couple more….
Sundance Comment???
In a 5 to 4 decision, the Supreme Court on Thursday sided with the Biden administration in Biden v. Texas, allowing the administration to lift Title 42 and end the Remain in Mexico Policy also known as Migrant Protection Protocols, which requires migrants to seek asylum from the United States and wait in Mexico while their cases are adjudicated.
This gives a very good explanation. Back to the lower court—and eventually back to SCOTUS. Not over yet…..

Feels like a glorious week of WINNING!!!!
It sure has been a wonderful week filled with Winning!
In the near future, we will be asking ourselves how we ever let Congress get so far off the rails?
They don’t debate bills publicly, they don’t operate within budgets, they have automatic spending increases, they have overlapping agencies budgeted for the same items, they don’t write their own laws and they spend monies they don’t have burdening future generations.
Mostly, they harm US citizens over pet projects here and overseas.
I blame weak, clueless GOP for letting it happen.
They weren’t clueless when they sold their souls and our futures to China.
Not China, the Globalists, they are the worldwide hidden puppeteers. The puppets are the front men/people, the faces of the idiocy. The ones that are ornament become ornament material.
The Davos Cabal.
MONEY.
When is the last time Congress declared war?
I don’t remember that happening within my lifetime…although we have had our troops
fighting here, there, and everywhere constantly for the last 60 yrs.or so.
Not only sanity but plain old constitutionality, which admittedly, have both been in short supply of late.
I hope this is a sign of things to come…
The three that always vote against everything consitutional, what kind of vision do they have for this country? Imagine what things would be like if they prevailed in every decision before the Court.
A ‘little’ sanity is restored. How did we ever get into a position where unelected officials actually make law? Every agency in the Federal government seems to have the authority to force their will on the unwilling. The Exective branch unilaterally seems to issue an order or edict whenever they want a change or a new regulation or law.
I submit that forcing people to get medical injections against their will is a violation of every tenant in law know to civilized man. Is it any wonder that politicians can start wars at their own whim when their subjects are so slow in the brain?
This seems to be a trend world wide. The most egregious example is the EU! Not one of those petty tyrants, that make up that body, was elected by anyone. They are appointed depending on their political philosophy.
The dim wits on both sides of the ocean seem to enjoy being told what they can and can’t do. Don’t forget to line for your Monkey Pox. The lack of critical thinking and individualism is appalling!
Justice Elena Kagan, joined in her dissent by Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor, said the decision disarms the EPA at a time when the country is facing “the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.”
“The Court appoints itself — instead of Congress or the expert agency — the decisionmaker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening,” Kagan wrote.
that witch argued many issues on behalf of the federal government as Solicitor General and has not recused herself even ONE time on a related topic
Anything Kagan doesn’t like, I’m all for. She’s a hard core communist … the one who defended Obama in all the suits filed against him with the Supreme Court demanding that he prove his citizenship. In her Princeton thesis, she lamented the fact that free enterprise overcame socialism and wrote of “socialism’s greatness”. What she meant was communism’s greatness, but Fabian Socialists like her have learned to disguise what they really are. She doesn’t believe in free speech and thinks the President (a communist one, that is) should be able regulate the private sector and individual lives. And if the Supreme Court stands in the way of it she’s going to be on the bandwagon calling the court a danger to *democracy*.
“Expert Agency,” surely our betters, n’est-ce pas?
It’s all emotion. The female judges are all emotion. This is why women should never have been given the right to vote.
So this stereotype is ok? I’m really tired of hearing this bs.
Well, those who lead with extroversion or feeling might be screened a bit at least. God bless their sweet hearts, they are the main stay of the home, but they see through their emotions and oftentimes fail to see the harsh consequences of soft policy.
Introverted thinker/judgers should be welcomed as they are ‘masculine’ thinkers. They would be bad mates (imagine being hitched to Ayn Rand!), but great debaters and floggers of ideas.
What? I’m sorry, but that’s exactly what she, Sotomayor and Breyer were doing. Those 3 were appointing themselves as the decision makers of “the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.”
Just like the Wise Latina on some mandate case I can’t remember, the leftwing SCOTUS looks at the policies being promulgated unconstitutionally rather than the constitutional aspects of who can do what.
This is the view of the role of judges promoted by the Left.
So we are forever at the mercy of those that continually whine that life is not fair.
Even if such is not the structure or role of the courts, because so many have been made to believe it so, the Leftists have more latitude to judge accordingly.
Thank you Lord, you have saved many lives especially the children, you have saved the economy and you have given us the right to defend ourselves against an oppressive government.
AMEN! Fifty years of prayer answered on Roe v. Wade! We must be diligent in our prayers. Always!
In order to get him elected in 2024, we must gain control of the Republican party, finally wresting it away from the RINOS.
IF we don’t, they WILL find a way to keep him off the ballot, cause they know NO Candidate can beat him.
However, if ALL we were to get in 2024 is PDJT’s second term, and the Decepticons remain in control of House and Senate Republican caucuses, and Ronda and what she represents control the RNC, PDJT’s second term will be a repeat of the first.
So, for PDJT to have a second term starting Jan 2025, we MUST take control of the GOPe/RNC.
Anything else is unacceptable.
Grab ’em by the roots!

Part of the Texas blackout.
A large utility in California bought a large utility in Texas. EPA amplify demands which would cost hundreds of millions to keep a plant in compliance. Next year they make more expensive demands. A covert way of shutting down reliable coal power.
If it wasn’t for California I wouldn’t have known that eating my car could cause cancer.
lol
Pondering the downstream residue of spanking a “fiat by rulemaking agency” concept. I like it and hope there is some quaking going on that isn’t limited to the EPA.

Rep. Mary Miller in Illinois’ 15th District
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., in Colorado’s 3rd District
Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., in Illinois’ 12th District

This needs to be on the Presidential Thread not the EPA SC decision thread.
Ooops, sorry.
MORE WINNING
Now if they would just apply this to ever other administrative agency creating admistrative law from thin air.
Alright, now bring all the coal fired power plants back on line to prevent brown/black outs. AC in summer=good, heat in winter=good. Bungles Biden and his gang of imbeciles=bad.
It will be interesting to see how the courts apply this reasoning to the fascist BATFE and its gun grabbing new regulations regarding homemade firearms, 80% receivers, stock braces etc.
Justice Kagan responded to today’s ruling by stating that the East coast will flood because of the rising sea levels. I won’t believe her until I see Biden, Obama, Kerry, Clinton, Kennedys, and all our “betters” flee from their water-front homes.
There is no doubt about it now. The minority justices exercise emotion over rational thought. Kagan “fears” what will happen without the “expert” agencies. Are you kidding me? Congress passed no law nor delegated any power to the executive branch to do 90% of what the EPA or any other agency does.
The real surprise is that Roberts sided with the majority. The man is a judicial enigma.
Well, there is little judicial or intellectual argument to make to support their Communist goals without openly declaring them, and they are playing to their audience of useful idiots who are indeed emo-centric.
Thank God. As we should.

Ahhhh! My eyes!!! Eyebleach! Pleassseee!! The eighties called. They want their Big Hair backkkk.
The attack is on and the fourth estate and dimms that set this up are crying foul, livid!
Gotta love it. The fourth estate is not the media, it is in fact the bureaucracy that exists within the federal government. It’s the “departments” and “agencies”.
Politicians come and go but these people cannot be fired, and they indeed run the country. They want one thing and one thing only, centralization of power, in complete opposition of the Constitution. That ended with Trump’s SCOTUS appointments.
Trump is the hero of this the 21st century….
The administrative deep-state gets its real power from laws Congress passed giving them that power. Sometimes they overdrive their headlights and get slapped-down by the courts, but that’s rare.
Congress could “right-size” the deep-state in a few weeks across the board, but they will never do it. Anyone that seriously tries better get ready for the midnight gestapo raids from the fbi red-army.
Glad to see the EPA reined in. Good for West Virginia for standing up to the giant and prevailing!
How pleasant would it be for a newspaper headline or a MSM news show to state something like,
“EPA gets rained in because of too much gifted power. SCOTUS says Congress do your own damn job”
instead Elena Kagan said the East Coast will soon be underwater
So who is going to enforce the SCOTUS ruling? The corrupt Biden administration? Yeah right.
I think you need a strong dose of Federalism to sweep the country and work hard to get governors in place like Desantis
Any Biden voters here
doing the usual dive.
Here is what came up when I started looking:
ruling surrounds the issue that “existing” power generation cannot comply nor would it serve an actual environmental benefit (real science I might add), to follow “new” biden admin ep rules on the STANDARDS REQUIRED AND THE AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY AND HARDWARE (AVAILABLILITY BEING THE KEY HERE..timeliness plus ALSO a review of how well (or poorly) other nation western states are complying with similar emission standards regulations wrt to an aging coal (and other fossil fuel variants), across the globe.
My sense if that the pendelum has swong very very hard one way.
we”ll see a correction soon..it just won’t last very long. (74 days tops on my napkin
Then will resume a sharp downturn..currency, gdp, core reports, estimates and even media tone
usd$ is going to get hammered hard very soon.
wish I could be more optimistic
update on the major market shifts in 8 days from now
God Bless America
Hey Roberts, who’s that leaker of the Roe decision? Asking for a friend …
For conservatives, this is the most consequential of the many great SCOTUS decisions this term, and it goes far beyond the obvious benefit in combating the the debilitating climate change hoax.
This is a true blow to the administrative state, returning power to the legislature from unelected bureaucrats. The principle will apply to every government agency.
This decision will greatly impair the power of the deep state.
Just as consequential is that the court has agreed to hear the congressional redistricting issue next term – hopefully getting the courts out of the legislatures’ business.
I am heartened.
As I believe Greg Gutfeld said, “Best second term of a non-sitting President, ever.”
So the coal plants gain temporary reprieve. Meanwhile the same regulatory jagoffs are trying to shut down oil production in the Permian Basin. America takes one step forward, one step back – and is always playing defense when progressives are at the helm.
Reading the comment section. What do any of the comments have to do with this article? Is this finally some push back to the Federal govt?
Trump -DeSantis 2024
These people are fools. The clock is ticking for them. From here up to mid terms things will start to get very crazy. We are witnessing the collapse of a desperate regime. Leftism is dead and don’t even know it.
