The U.S. Supreme Court has just issued an opinion in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency, the Court’s review of the scope of U.S. EPA’s authority under the federal Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. As a reminder, the issue presented to the Supreme Court was “Whether, in 42 U.S.C. § 7411(d), an ancillary provision of the Clean Air Act, Congress constitutionally authorized the Environmental Protection Agency to issue significant rules — including those capable of reshaping the nation’s electricity grids and unilaterally decarbonizing virtually any sector of the economy — without any limits on what the agency can require so long as it considers cost, nonair impacts and energy requirements.”
The full opinion can be found here, with the concluding Court opinion below (page 31): “Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible “solution to the crisis of the day.” New York v. United States, 505 U. S. 144, 187 (1992). But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme in Section 111(d). A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body. The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is reversed, and the cases are remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Yes it is. Wished Chevron would have found a place in the opinion and ruling.

I'm surprised more people aren't commenting on this...this is huge for all the three letter agencies. Congress may actually have to do something...probably just authorize a committee to do it.

Yepp... The impact of this ruling is huge... Or should I say "Yuge"... to quote another fella. "EPA" just became "epa".

What is does is open the Court for more cases that they will grant certiorari on. Roberts only went as far as he felt he needed to so put EPA in its place, and did not even mention Chevron deference, but, the opinion says three letter agencies cannot make up crap out of whole cloth, it has to be legislated.
Great big deal.

Actually, just finished read the other thread on this. LOL Has relevance for other government agencies, too.

The fact is, the Federal Leviathan is so out-of-control that if Congress had to do a zero-based budget, there wouldn't be enough time in a year to even do that, much less vote on any legislation.

I was thinking about the federal budget yesterday. When was the last time they even presented one?

You mean Congress Critters actually have to do their jobs?
