B-Man Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Justice Scalia and Climate Change One of Justice Antonin Scalia’s last official acts may be among the most important of his distinguished career. Last week, he joined with four other justices to halt implementation of President Obama’s new carbon regulation for so long as it is under legal review — an unprecedented move to stay an unprecedented federal overreach into states’ energy decisions. Titled by the administration the “Clean Power Plan,” the regulation would be one of the costliest ever, dramatically increasing electricity prices across the nation — all while producing essentially zero climate benefits, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s own models. Thanks to Justice Scalia and the four other justices who voted with him, Americans won the first battle against this reckless plan. But the fight is far from over. Even though the Supreme Court is not expected to issue a final ruling until at least 2017, the EPA is essentially flouting the stay order and encouraging states to continue developing their plans. State officials — governors, legislators, regulatory agencies, public-utilities commissions, and utilities themselves — should reject the EPA’s offers of assistance. In fact, they should be issuing stop-work orders to prevent the regulation’s implementation until the courts have completed a full review.Read more at: http://www.nationalr...rbon-regulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know and the reason is I didn't read anything about it. I just picked up the fact that your post was pulled right out of your manatee idea ball tank once again. So you are 100% wrong with your assumption.........once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorant I had no idea about this plan and that Obama was associated with it. But other than that you're 100% spot on! BTW I'm confused. Did Obama just want the plan or was it his plan. See I didn't read the plan or know anything about it so I could use some clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ, why do you encourage him to follow the squirrel that he introduced ? Titled by the administration the “Clean Power Plan,” the regulation would be one of the costliest ever, dramatically increasing electricity prices across the nation — all while producing essentially zero climate benefits, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s own models. That was the essence of the article. Gator's predictable, mindless "so you're against clean air" was best ignored. or ridiculed ............since you prefer that approach. But now it's just sad. .

One of the most entertaining things is watching my cat chase her tail. Seeing I'm at work now I needed gator to provide that entertainment. Just as long as he let's me know before he licks his butt so I can turn away we're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are mindlessly against it Which is actually not a bad position. Obama has a very reliable track record of being on the wrong side of the right issues or spending time on low priority issues. With that people are tuning him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it funny how conservatives, libertarians, and independents see the president as an incompetent, bumbling, narcissistic, idealologue, but liberals, socialists, and democrats see him as a black guy?

That's because "incompetent," "bumbling," "narcissistic," and "idealogue" are code-words for "black." But "black" is a code word for "progressive."
