Trump Taps Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt As EPA Head | Zero Hedge

Sanders is WHINING about it so must be a good pick!

In 2013, Pruitt brought a lawsuit targeting the Affordable Care Act.[4]
In 2013, Pruitt supported the Oklahoma legislature's bid to join four other states trying to restrict medical abortions by limiting or banning off-label uses of drugs, via House Bill 1970. after the state Supreme Court upheld a lower court's ruling that the abortion law was unconstitutional, Pruitt requested that the United States Supreme Court review the case. Pruitt was unhappy with the United States Supreme Court's rejection of the Oklahoma case.[5][6]

Pruitt was pleased with the decision of the United States Supreme Court's ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby in June 2014. Pruitt, an acquaintance of the Green family - the founders of Hobby Lobby, filed a brief with the Supreme Court in support of their position, that the owners of privately held companies need not provide their employees with birth control, if that goes against their beliefs. In a statement, Pruitt noted, "The founders established a Constitution to protect Americans' religious freedom from an intrusive federal government. Today's ruling solidifies the principle that our religion is not a silent practice confined to the four walls of a church, but it is an opportunity to live out our faith in the public square."[7]

In June 2013, Pruitt maintained that the Supreme Court's decision to strike down a provision of DOMA, a federal law that denied federal benefits to homosexual married couples did not affect Oklahoma's laws on the subject.[8]


I love this pick!

The NYT is calling him an ally of the oil industry.

They have a friend in the Trump administration rather than someone trying to put them out of business!

Yeah, this is gonna drive the left insane.

How many decades will Trump regress us back to? Will he also bring back 8-track tape (formally Stereo 8: commonly known as the eight-track cartridge, eight-track tape, or simply eight-track)?

Oh, the horror... you might have to get a job other than selling trinkets at the reservation shop.

Trump picks someone to head up the EPA who can't stand the EPA & has sued the EPA multiple times. That's fucking awesome. I love it.

You mean he doesn't give a shit about all the left's phony hysteria about the environment. He especially doesn't give a shit about continuing the "climate change" con.
