Back in June, the Supreme Court handed down a ruling in the West Virginia v. EPA case that absolutely gutted the federal government’s ability to do anything about the major cause of the climate crisis.

n that opinion, the conservative majority climbed onto a high horse to make an extended claim about the importance of specific legislative language to address this issue, saying the issue was too important to be handled merely through regulation and that the “broad consensus to pass legislation” as required in the Constitution means that “any new laws would enjoy wide social acceptance.”

Well … now there is. Because down in the text of the just-signed Inflation Reduction Act is clear language that amends the Clean Air Act to address “any greenhouse gas” as well as listing a set of gases already fitting that category. The court demanded specific language. Now they have it.

As The New York Times reports, the purpose and result of the legislation is crystal clear—clear enough that Republicans are fuming that this is another thing they missed.

“It’s buried in there,” said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. “The Democrats are trying to overturn the Supreme Court’s West Virginia vs. E.P.A. victory.”


Damn Rafael Cancun, All that Harvard education, and you didn't see that in the bill. Which is now law. :muahaha:

EPA Can Now Regulate Greenhouse Gases.​

The EPA has no authority to pass laws, only Congress can do that. Guess the EPA needs a big smackdown next year along with a lot of other overbearing tyrannical "agencies."
 
Democrats don't have to abide by the law, they are the law.
 
Government, as usual, is the problem. Here is another instance, they started the fire that messed the Las Vegas, NM water supply up.

You do understand that was the point of their ruling, right?
