Wonderful news - the EPA
From the
Daily Caller:
�MASSIVE SEIZURE OF POWER�: Climate scientists, economists challenge EPA
A group of climate scientists and economists are challenging the Environmental Protection Agency�s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other stationary sources.
These critics see a �massive seizure of power� by the agency.
The scientists and economists, including the former chair of the EPA�s Science Advisory Committee, filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, arguing that the agency does not have the authority to permit greenhouse gases from stationary sources. According to the group, such a permitting scheme is a �naked power grab of the most cynical sort.�
A bit more:
The lawmakers argue that the EPA has effectively usurped Congress�s authority to write the laws by moving to regulate greenhouse gases � which was done under the Obama administration.
�Our Constitution reserves the power to enact, amend, or repeal statutes to Congress alone,� reads the lawmakers� brief.
�The power asserted by the EPA here infringes on the constitutional prerogatives of Congress, undermines government accountability, and threatens liberty,� the brief says.
I hope the Court sees the light of reason.
