There won't be one. Just like there wasn't in Russia, China, Cambodia, Venezuela, and so many other places that went down into totalitarian tyranny, often aiding and abetting the tyranny because too many thought there was something in it for them. It' was a death of a thousand cuts: never one large enough to trigger actions, but all together achieve the same end.
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
It's been underway for a long, long time. This is only the beginning of the end.
Sorry to say it this way...
...but the elections mean nothing, they are just a sham for the people.
IF all that energy had been directed at the agencies and bureaucrats, perhaps we could turn this mess back.
But...as long as we stay focused on the little minds in congress...we doom ourselves to the tyranny.
Elections no longer have consequences.
Defunding is defending. You don't kill a dandelion by running a mower over it or refusing to give it fertilizer. You kill it by tearing the d*mned thing out by the roots.
You are exactly correct.
On April 2, 2007, the Supreme Court found that GHGs, including carbon dioxide, are air
pollutants covered by the CAA. Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497 (2007).
Wow...moved to blogger..

How sad for FR
“Followed closely by the defunding of the Department of Education and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.”
I LIKE the way you think! A+++++
Van Jones: “The way that you get clean energy up in your country, and get the innovation up in your country, and get the jobs up in your country is to push down on the dirty stuff. Okay? To get the clean stuff up you got to push down on the dirty stuff.
“There’s only three ways to do that. [Ed. note: “Top down, bottom up, inside out”] You either regulate the dirty polluters real hard. Regulation. You tax ‘em real hard. Carbon tax. Or you make them buy permits for all that stuff they’re putting up in the air. Those are your only three options. Regulate them hard. Tax them hard. Make them buy permits. Make ‘em buy permits, that’s called cap and trade.
You want to know how the EPA was established?
These fed agencies are Treaty based. That is how they have gained jurisdiction and the power to regulate sans Congress.

U.S. EPA’s new rules for power plants, refineries and other large industrial facilities will “deprive Texas of its right to manage its air resources,” the state says in a petition filed last week with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The plea to the New Orleans-based court, which has jurisdiction over Texas but doesn’t usually review challenges to Clean Air Act programs, is the state’s last-ditch effort to stop the regulations from taking effect in two weeks.

court filing Friday, the Obama administration urged the 5th Circuit to throw out Perry’s new petition, saying that the D.C. Circuit is responsible for weighing these types of requests. Texas’ request is “an improper attempt to re-litigate before this court its unsuccessful arguments,” the Justice Department argued in its response.

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.”
Legal eagles out there? Fill us in, Please.
