So much for checks-and-balances.
One of these days we'll have to go about checks-and-balances the old fashioned way.

The Constitution set up the Congress as the legislative body. We saw in the bussing issue how court appointed special supervisors failed as much as the bad legislation did. This instance is no different.
Bad legislation by bad legislators creating large agencies with broad powers is the problem, not court proceedings which would amount to legislating from the bench.
If we want good careful legislation, we must elect good legislators — few other remedies will due.
We keep trying to not have this country screwed up by their actions when the only way to have them accountable is for the giant screw-ups to go foreword. It takes a big mess to get our citizenry interested in government.

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?

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 we need Congress to repeal the stupid laws they pass and be more temperate when passing laws in the future. Hah. They are us (or, really, they are the sum of their campaign contributions).
