The Supremes are ossified peoples dealing with realities to the best of their understanding.

There are things happening that are escaping the bounds of any human control.

I hoped to never live to this point.

Now here, I hope to live to see the hand of God act.

There will be no questions then.

All will be... displeased.

You have to look beyond whoever ‘wins’ or ‘loses’ in this particular case, and focus on the ‘precedent’ being set by the SCOTUS in deferring to the ‘experts’ of the EPA, saying that the courts do not have the necessary expertise in whatever the ‘science’ in question is being debated..................

Yes, when the founding fathers began this nation and wrote the Constitution, I am SO certain they envisioned some damnable bureaucracy telling states how much wood they could burn and how much coal was acceptable.

What a pile of garbage.

Folks, take this as a positive: if the court is going to rule NO COURT can rule, then we have to change the legislative branch MASSIVELY, get them to REMOVE the EPA via law, then when the Marxists bring a lawsuit to reinstate the bureaucracy, use this case as precedent.

Justice Elena Kagan raised concerns about the enormity of the case, arguing that the states are asking the court to weigh in on a major policy issue.

Mr. Restuccia should invest in a dictionary. That's not an adroit use of the word "enormity."

De-fund the EPA de-fund Tzar's pull the plug on socialism.

All of it - you're on a roll and you're right! Obama and the EPA, however, are green under the gills and insist on foisting their climate change tax scam upon us - doubtful they will cease the attempt anytime soon.

I know that but that isn’t what this case is about.

Who do you think should win this one?

It’s a tough call.
States with their hands out on one side and power companies on the other.
Either way, the people lose.............

“The only solution is to now restrict the powers of the EPA via legislation.
With the current regime in place that is a long way off”

At least until the next election.

Sportutegirl's headline: Three USSC Chicks favor EPA.

Roberts appears to question EPA's side, so I'll wait for the verdict.

Huh?

The Court telling people that we have to hold Congress responsible for things they pass, and you complain about it?

Basically the courts are saying they do not want to second guess the ‘experts’..................

In so many words they also proclaim that the only way to curtail the EPA is legislatively and the only way to stop the EPA is to do away with the EPA.

Congress must act.

All we will get is a signing statement by the Pres saying buzz off. That is what he did over the weekend when signing the CR for 2011 which defunded nine CZARS.

On a side note - I listen to talk radio all day. Every 30 minutes when news comes on I have to endure a clip by the man child. This Pres id the most overexposed PRes in my 70 year life.

This mess is not for the court to fix, it's for congress to fix. And fixing congress is the job of the American people.

The US Supreme Court is selected by the dumbass presidents, who are elected by dumbass voters, then they are affirmed by the dumbass congressmen, also selected by the dumbass voters.

No matter how you approach the mess, the buck stops with the voters of this nation.

The Court doesn't want to “second guess the experts”? By ruling CO2 was something that could be regulated by the EPA, the SCOTUS justices established themselves as quasi-experts.

Now these same justices say the EPA folks are “experts”? Well, which is it, boys? Are the EPA “experts” or are the SCOTUS justices “experts”? It cannot be both. To say both is like saying your wife is only half pregnant.

The time has come for states to tell SCOTUS and the EPA they have NO intention of obeying any kind of crap that flows down from either. For that matter, the states should tell FedGov to pound sand with all their rules, regulations, and garbage. Further, the states stop sending tax monies to DC or take any filthy money from DC.

Actually, no... in this case the Ginsberg is ruling against courts limiting greenhouse gasses, albeit merely to protect a bad reason. Ginsberg is saying, “Look, you already won having the EPA regulate green house gas. Now, you want every judge in America to ALSO have the right to regulate green house gas. Sorry, no dice. “

I guess I am lost. Doomed? How? Our highest court may throw out a case where states are asking our judges to limit electric company emissions and hold them liable for the failing health of whoever they identify. I see nothing wrong in this at all. Where does this permit SCOTUS to overstep it's bounds and rule anything about the EPA? Where does SCOTUS have the ability to rule anything in this case except that the states are absurd by bringing it?
