Default Judges Slap Down EPA Not 1, Not 2, But 3 Times

Quote:
In a string of unrelated but equally remarkable cases, in the last week three, separate federal courts – including the U.S. Supreme Court – have taken the EPA to task for regulatory overreach. We’ve already blogged about Sackett v. EPA and Mingo Logan Coal v. EPA. In the most recent of these cases – decided yesterday – the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the EPA "had no legal basis” for disapproving 2006 air quality regulations promulgated by the state of Texas as part of its duty under the Clean Air Act to adopt and administer a plan for implementing federal air quality standards.

In other words, the EPA tried to usurp the regulatory authority given to the states by the Clean Air Act – just one more part of the EPA’s misguided efforts to try and make it more expensive and more difficult to operate existing utilities, including coal-fired power plants (making it harder to include coal as part of our diverse energy mix is a recurring theme – today the EPA is proposing new regulations that essentially ban new coal power plants). The case is Luminant Energy Generation Co. and U.S. Chamber of Commerce, et al. v. EPA.

You can check out all three opinions on About NCLC | National Chamber Litigation Center, the website for the Chamber’s public policy law firm, the National Chamber Litigation Center.

Spoiler alert: the EPA doesn’t fare well in any of these opinions. As a teaser, in Sackett v. EPA, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously said that the EPA was “strong-arming” regulated parties; in Luminant Generation Co., et al. v. EPA the Fifth Circuit ruled that EPA had “overstepped the bounds” of its authority; and in Mingo Logan Coal Co. v. EPA, the D.C. District Court described the EPA as engaging in “magical thinking.”

A note to the EPA scumbags--your days are numbered. Soon you will be a nightmare of the past. Thanks for nothing.

Did you ever see anyone so happy that they will be crapped on. Oh but it's ok because you don't live breath or drink water there

That research should be done by scientists, but never, NEVER---by psycho greenies who are part of the EPA. We can die healthy at 20, or we can die unhealthy at 100, or we can die healthy at 100, or we can die unhealthy at 20.

I plan on presenting to God a body well used and a mind well exercised, instead of a polliwog-like body full of good blood and a mind full of feces.

To atheists and other nay sayers, God can be what you think God is, so don't get ranting on something you may imagine is part of mythology.

You don't have a clue. You just are excited like any rightwing tool when the EPA loses. It means you can eat and drink more Sh*t

Carbon dioxide does not impact ANY of that. Man-made CO2 vanishes within the normal annual variation of CO2 levels. But that's science, so I'm sure you're not interested.

Now then, any comments on the fact that the EPA is using it's authority illegally or are you OK with unelected officials doing what only Congress is allowed to do?? Do you like the idea that a bunch of bureaucrats can basically pass laws and there's virtually no way to stop them short of suing in court and spending millions of $$ fighting them??

I hope the EPA is disbanded immediately and its fools sent to go annoy North Korea or Iran or Saudi Arabia or Venezuela or Mexico or China, anywhere but here in America.
