“But how does rising prices of a source such as this serve the Democrat Party?”:

We can only speculate. It seems the dem leadership has bought into idealogy and can’t retreat now. I think they are idealists and true believers. They believe oil is a dinosaur and we must bite the bullet and change now. The problem is the technology is not ready to replace oil. However they think they are smarter than everyone else and will find a way.

We shall see how their base feels when gasoline increases another few dollars.

“Can the States just ignore the Federal government, and do what they need to do?”

Yes. Since the federal government.I.E. the SCOTUS failed to defend the constitution the last election, per the equal protection clause, there is no longer a compact between the states.

IMO.

If the EPA didn’t have the authority to justify their (lost) case in the Supreme Court this week, then they sure as —— don’t have the authority to do this.

Eventually, someone will pull the plug on this disaster.

All it will take is one state to split and the rest will follow.

If a couple who are married dont get along, and cant settle their problems, what happens?

I would sooner that the states who have a gut full would kick the offending states out.

California ignores federal immigration law. Been doing it for years.

$89.33 this morning at the same station for the same about of gas, I could have got for $36.34 on November 7, 2020.

Now this story and the story that the Biden misAdministration missed the deadline for the annual leases tells me, they are pretty confident going into November.
81 million votes may or may not be enough, so I am guessing at least 90 million Democrat votes this fall.

Nobody in DC has had to buy gas in decades.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I am pretty sure you are right.

Too bad Democrats don’t believe in democracy.

Can the EPA make a law like this without congress. Or is this an EO?

It is a regulation and yes they can. Congress deliberately writes vague laws and then lets the enforcement agencies make the rest up as they go.

I will believe there is an actual gasoline shortage when the speed limit is dropped to 55 MPH and “A” ration cards are reissued.

[Senormechanico]

Imho, states ought to withold all tax revenue demanded by the federal government.
Piss on the RAT fed !

“The Kenyan from Indonesia wants $7-8 a gallon or more if they can get it”.

The Kenyan is right in the middle of all this. That’s a Guarantee.

Can the EPA make a law like this without congress.

Yes it is called “rule making” authority or “administrative law.” All regulatory agencies have and use it without restraint...other than what the USSC did this week.

“Yes it is called “rule making” authority or “administrative law.”

True, Rule Making is what Administrative agencies do.

However, the rulemaking must comport with the APA (Administrative Procedures Act). This is where notice and comment periods come about and the rulemaking process has to “stay canalized” to the purpose set forth in the enabling statute for the agency. If the bounds are overstepped by the agency, the rulemaking then becomes an “ultra vires” act, and the rule becomes an illegitimate law subject to being stricken down.

And Biden will wipe his ass with Abbott’s letter.

Too bad Chuck Norris isn’t governor.

[es345st]

Yep, Abbott is Pence.

Texas, New Mexico and the other energy producing states should form a consortium and drill, drill, drill and frack, frack, frack and if the feds object, give them the finger.
