Justice Department attorneys told a federal court Wednesday that EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler would discontinue efforts to repeal ozone regulations imposed in 2015 by the Obama administration...The Trump administration will now defend Obama-era ozone regulations in court against a coalition of states and industries suing to have them overturned. [Recently fired EPA Chief Scott Pruitt filed the original lawsuit while he was A.G. of Oklahoma]

Suspect this is hysterical overreaction. Focusing on more productive pursuits when confronted by a roadblock in one area does not constitute “defending” the roadblock, not in Trump’s book. He’ll circle back when the time is more conducive. His entire history demonstrates this. Article to me appears to be never-Trumper folderol as a result.
Sounds confusing.
Ozone sounds cleansing.
Tell Wheeler “You are fired”!
Does your air conditioner use R-22 refrigerant? Here's why you should care
This is the third time in less than two weeks that new EPA Chief Andrew Wheeler has overturned one of Scott Pruitt’s policies.
It is now apparent that Trump fired Scott Pruitt because Trump wants Andrew Wheeler to move the EPA sharply to the Left.
I still don't understand why effective people like Scott Pruitt are forced to resign while ineffective and even hostile people like Sessions and Rosenstein continue to show up to work each morning.
Getting rid of Pruitt was a mistake. This article underscores why.
Pruitt created his own problems.
Scott Pruitt was brought on the roll back the liberal-imposed environmental regulations that have crippled our economy. He was doing exactly that and that's why hellfire was rained upon him by the Left. Trump couldn't take the heat.
This is the Left saying, "We don't care who's in the White House. The EPA belongs to us! Don't f*** with it!" Trump buckled.
And now we've got Andrew Wheeler. The Left doesn't seem to mind him so much as long as he leaves their environmental regulations alone. He appears to be doing just that.
Re: “Hysterical Overreaction”
Actually, Trump firing Scott Pruitt was the hysterical overreaction.
Re: “Roadblock”
What roadblock?
The lawsuit is being litigated, and Trump just ordered the EPA to switch sides and support the Hard Left environmental groups.
They are Jihadist-level zealots to their misguided faith in their Goddess Gaia.
Approach with caution.
You posted without the #winning hashtag or BOOM. Jk.. just like he made spending deals with chuck n Nancy, he has never threatened to veto a bill without wall funding. He increased H1bs. Love his foreign policy with Israel. His domestic is so big tent that I cannot understand it.
Is he just going to cave to the Dems on everything and fund their wildest dreams? I hope not, but a trillion dollar stimulus for unions is hard to grasp.
Every day there are record numbers of minorities joining him., but is it for the right reason?
I would have to say, if he really wanted a wall, it would have been done,. Someone order him some veto ink.
Now they will do the usual death of Christmas for military and grandma drama..milked last year. His empty threat to shut down the government is perfectly timed for the annual stealing Christmas drama. Isn’t he smarter than that, or was that the plan all along?
It is swamp politics and I am tired of it. I don’t care who or what party.. no more Christmas budget drama. For petes sake, they act surprised every year. And we play along. Why do we do that?
Let the case fumble along to the SCOTUS and let the nine (eight plus the “planker”) deal with it.
These EPA regulations are idiotic, but they have a lot of support among suburban voters in many GOP-held districts in places like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California.
They'll never admit it but the fact is that what mankind does has very little, if any, impact on the Ozone layer.
Wheeler is not a rabid enviromentalist. I’m not sure what to make of this report, but he took heat from enviro wackos all the time prior to taking this position in the administration. Always called a climate denier. He represented the largest coal company in America. I’ll wait for more info.
Yup, natures cleanser. I have never seen the mechanism in which ozone can be produced from pollution that they claim. O3 is simply O2 with an extra unstable atom attached brought about by UV or an electrical field.
Just like the Syrian Muslims are still pouring into this country after the civil war is over thanks to Ivanka .
