B-Man Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The Supreme Court’s Civics Lesson by Noah Rothman A momentous term for the Supreme Court ended on Thursday with one of the most consequential rulings it has handed down this year. With its decision in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency, the Court has affirmed the notion that it is the purview of Congress—not the federal bureaucracy—to write laws. That lesson will be bitterly resisted, which is why it is so vital. In this case, the Court was asked to determine whether the EPA has the authority to set rules around emissions generated by coal-burning power plants that are so strict they could have no other effect than to remove coal from the nation’s electricity mix. The Court ruled that this administrative effort to render an entire sector of the economy obsolete was not supported by statute or Congressional intent. Indeed, it was contemptuous of both. “EPA claimed to discover an unheralded power representing a transformative expansion of its regulatory authority in the vague language of a long-extant, but rarely used, statute designed as a gap filler,” read the syllabus of the decision authored by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. “That discovery allowed it to adopt a regulatory program that Congress had conspicuously declined to enact itself.” The EPA’s expansive interpretation of its statutory jurisdiction extended well beyond what Congress had approved. Indeed, the agency’s authority appeared to have been derived from that which Congress explicitly spurned. “Nor can the Court ignore that the regulatory writ EPA newly uncovered,” Roberts added, “conveniently enabled it to enact a program, namely, cap-and-trade for carbon, that Congress had already considered and rejected numerous times.” https://www.commentary.org/noah-rothman/the-supreme-courts-civics-lesson/ .

B-Man Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 West Virginia saved America. You're welcome By Don Surber This morning, the Supreme Court handed down its most important decision since Heller. Chief Justice John Roberts writing for his 6-3 majority told the EPA that its powers are not infinite in ruling in favor of West Virginia in its landmark lawsuit against the bureaucracy and the Democrat Party. Chief justices save the big cases for themselves. And they also save the big cases for last. CNN reported, "The Supreme Court curbed the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to broadly regulate carbon emissions from existing power plants, a major defeat for the Biden administration’s attempts to slash emissions at a moment when scientists are sounding alarms about the accelerating pace of global warming." The damage from a bunch of civil servants deciding the fate of a trillion-dollar energy industry is enormous. But the lawsuit brought by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey was based on something far more important than this weather phrenology. The Constitution. The ruling made it clear that Morrisey is right. He freed the nation from a nearly omnipotent bureaucracy. Steve Vladeck, CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor at the University of Texas School of Law, told the ruling "could be cataclysmic for modern administrative law." I sure hope so because the unelected people inside the DC bubble have no clue of how America operates. They listen to lobbyists who seek favor. The carbon dioxide nonsense led to restrictions on coal, oil and natural gas and billions in subsidies for windmills and the like. Tesla may be the nation's largest company but it got there through welfare payments courtesy of Lord Obama. In his concurrent opinion, Gorsuch wrote, "When Congress seems slow to solve problems, it may be only natural that those in the Executive Branch might seek to take matters into their own hands. But the Constitution does not authorize agencies to use pen-and-phone regulations as substitutes for laws passed by the people’s representatives. In our Republic, 'It is the peculiar province of the legislature to prescribe general rules for the government of society.' [He cited an 1810 ruling.] Because today’s decision helps safeguard that foundational constitutional promise, I am pleased to concur." Oof. Take that, Mister Pen and Phone. In limiting presidential powers, the court did John Marshall proud. https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2022/06/west-virginia-saved-america-youre.html .

Since congress is a legislative body, they are not in a position to oversee all of the regulations and enforcement. So Congress, that thing we have from our democracy, voted to have an agency enforce the laws that they, congress (that thing we have from our democracy) had passed. In our democracy, we have a congress, which writes the laws, and an executive branch, which executes them. We can debate about how much authority congress should delegate for rulemaking and enforcement, but congress passing laws and the executive branch enforcing them is literally how our democracy works.

Big Blitz Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Trump nominated Scott Pruitt to head the EPA - and the typical commies lost their ***t because an agency under their thumb was going to have new management. You have to believe in the right science to head certain agencies. You have to acknowledge a certain number of genders to head them. Unable to define a woman? Straight to the SCOTUS. Less Federal Government is always the answer. You can recycle and ban all the plastic grocery bags you want in New York or California. Fumble all your groceries out of the store.

BillsFanNC Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 23 hours ago, All_Pro_Bills said: In a majority opinion authored by chief justice John Roberts, the justices ruled the Environmental Protection Agency was not specifically authorized by Congress to reduce carbon emissions when it was set up in 1970. The ruling leaves the Biden administration dependent on passing legislation if it wants to implement sweeping regulations to curb emissions. So far the common theme of the court is legislate through the legislature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
