No jobs for you!
It will do none of these things. It will do the exact opposite of these things.....as it was designed to do..............
“Rule?” Was this “rule” passed by the legislature and signed by a governor or was it a creation of an executive branch agency? Can the governor overrule an agency under her control?
Pardon my ignorance, but it reads here as if the judiciary is requiring a rule issued by the executive to be treated as if it were proposed and passed by the legislature.
Do I have that right? If so, I don’t even want to fly over New Mexico.
So, now, in New Mexico, at least, ‘Rules’ promulgated by Bureaucratic Agencies have the same status as ‘Laws’ passed by the Legislative process....
“Government of the People, By the People..” just died by Judicial Fiat....
Since these so called “judges” are now using their political ideology to make their decisions, THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DECIDE AT THE POLLS WHO GETS TO BE A JUDGE AND WHO DOESN’T! No more political nominations! It’s time for We the People to start electing these political bass turds!
she should just fire them all, watch them holler in the streets outside their building as you put it up for sale.
What part of the NM state constitution says We Will Rubber Stamp All Federal Orders?
The EPA issues a 'rule' and it is codified as LAW. Yep, happens all the time, but law making is reserved to congress, if you ascribe to that old, outdated US Constitution.
Congress delegated too much power, with too little thought, and no oversight to too many pinheads.
This governor should tell her Supremicist Court to bleep off....and remind the court that she, not they, can call out the National Guard.....
how is the political climate for impeachment?
Eh, just sequester the money that would be used to enforce the law until you can get it changed.
NM court orders publication of environmental rules (state Supreme Court)
The New Mexican article headline and story explain it best. In New Mexico, the legislature allows regulatory boards to adopt regulations subject to statutory limitations. Richardson's environmentalist-controlled environmental regulatory board adopted draconian air quality rules on carbon emissions just before he left office. The rules were scheduled to be published and become effective after Martinez took office. She ordered a delay in publication until the rules were reviewed by the new administration. The court said she couldn't do that -- the rules were adopted legally and the process (publication) could not be stopped by her.
What she did do was to fire four of the five members of the entire regulatory board and appoint new ones. They can hold hearings and undo what Richardson did. Also, there are bills in the legislature which would accomplish the same thing.
Here is the New Mexican's summary of where things stand:
While Wednesday's decision settles whether the regulations will be published, the rules' fate remains uncertain. Legislators have introduced bills in the 60-day session under way that would either roll back the regulations or change the way such rules are adopted. And utilities, industry groups and others intend to challenge the rules before the New Mexico Court of Appeals.
We need that more than ever.
Let the judge enforce it.
Okay — for those of us who do NOT know the details — and they ARE important:
Were the “rules” the Governor tried to stop FEDERAL or STATE in origin?
Were they created by an EXECUTIVE branch agency, or by LEGISLATIVE mandate?
Did the Governor merely stop publication of the laws details, or were the actual enactment of the laws delayed by her actions?
Did the State Supreme Court usurp their authority by involving themselves in an executive branch decision in the State of New Mexico, or did they jump in the middle of an Executive vs. Legislative turf war, or did they insert themselves between the NM Governor and an out of control Federal Beauracracy?
All of these questions seem to be relevant.
