Breaking News: SCOTUS Smacks Down EPA

[NYcarbineer]

lol, if Bobby Jindal had his way, there wouldn't be a Court to make this decision.

Oh look, the unelected tyranny judges just got a stay of execution from the Right.

All this decision required is that the EPA take cost into consideration with regards to mercury regulations earlier in the process. It was not the creation of a right out of thin air, or ignoring the actual letter of the law for "intentions, nor as in the most recent decision, deciding "people" = "legislature.

The Court wrote a law. They wrote a law against the EPA doing what it did.

No, they didn't.

I thought all of our rights were the creation of the Creator. How could the SCOTUS have created a right?

They created a constitutionally protected "right", something that can only be done via amendment.

There is a difference between intrinsic rights, and protected rights.

It was already done in the 14th amendment.

According to the Creator people like you, the rights exist regardless. The government's job is to secure those rights.

So the right to bear arms is an invented right, via the 2nd Amendment?

Imagine that. Considering the cost and impact of a regulation.

something california should have considered when their version of the EPA makes a ruling.....

jindal is just another in long line of dipshits wanting to rule the country....

Just coming in...5-4 vote against Obama. Finally, a decent decision from the SCOTUS which requires the EPA to assess the costs of regulations.

This puts some brakes on Obama's Climate Change takeover of the Economy.

Time to impeach Roberts. Just kidding.

There was no "smack down" as it simply says the EPA must factor in another variable. It's not as if the EPA regulations are going away.

Romney had this as one of the more interesting points in his platform in 2012. I was pretty excited about it during the campaign.

Then stop calling everything else legislating from the bench nitwit.
