It’s time to defund the EPA!

That sounds like something right out of Orwell’s 1984. The Ministry of Truth and all the other ministries described there. Scary.

Court won’t block EPA climate regulations
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2642011/posts

The Obama administration scored a legal victory Friday when a federal appeals court refused to block federal climate regulations slated to kick in next month.

State and industry challengers opposing the Environmental Protection Agency’s climate regulations had asked the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to halt the rules while the massive court battle plays out, but the court wasn’t convinced.

A host of states, industry groups and free-market groups are suing EPA over its regulations aimed at curbing greenhouse gases from automobiles and large industrial sources like power plants and oil refineries, as well as the so-called endangerment finding underpinning the rules.

David Doniger, a Natural Resources Defense Council attorney representing environmental groups in the case, said the decision is a sign that the “industry and state case against the regulations is pretty flimsy.”

Well if you really want to pursue this and I think we all should...

There are rounds two and three coming up both with 30-60 day comment periods. See the link in post 12 to understand ...

they already have all this stuff waiting in the wings.

My proposal or EPA?

I have experience in these things. Doesn't bother me a bit to bust a GS 12 or 13 or 14 or 15. I do get queasy dealing with an SES type since every word dripping from their mouth is a self-protective lie ~just tiring to listen to.

They think they're in charge of their agencies when in reality they are simply armor plate ~ inpenetrable, dense, more likely to slow stuff down than anything else.

The people we need to get to are in the lower ranks ~ that's where they still "do stuff".

Think of it as a TEACHING MOMENT.

Here's what happens ~ these rules are complex enough the top guy on this is going to ENFORCE what he believes to be management's intention.

He doesn't have the 2 or 3 years needed to really figure out these rules so he'll do a surface take and that's where more litigation will pop up.

I think it's more advantageous to take in the mid-level specialists and analysts and bust their knee caps before a Congressional committee.

Ordinarily the Administration will take action to deliver up only top level people, mostly appointees, and your typical Democrat Congresscritter will be quite happy to meet with Mr. Big and suck on his neither extremities.

What I'm proposing is targeting mid-level people for IMPEACHMENT.

The President cannot interfere in that by refusing to let the accused go before the committee.

Sounds a bit rough I know, but that should be made standard. Think of it as "what you do when you didn't do a confirmation hearing", which, of course, doesn't happen with these folks with Civil Service protection.

. . . the EPA acknowledged that it does not yet know how much greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced through its new regulatory plan.

Perfect for the 0 administration.

It has no clue if what it plans to do will actually work.

It just seems like the right thing to do.

A total end-run around legislative control. Who's the environment czar, now?

Jones resigned and I believe Carol Browner is energy & environmental czar.

Strip them of funding, prohibit transfer of funds to the agency, and shut them down. The House can do this.
