High court’s blow to EPA rattles Democrats,
climate change activists

Original Article

Posted By: GustoGrabber, 6/30/2022 11:44:21 AM

The Supreme Court ruling Thursday that reined in the Environmental Protection Agency‘s power to regulate climate change was a win for conservatives who have long sought to shrink the “administrative state,” a power federal agencies wield over large swaths of the U.S. economy and everyday life. But environmental experts and advocates have warned that it could have far-reaching implications for both combating climate change and how the federal government sets other regulations. “The court has placed its thumb on the scales — an anti-regulatory thumb — that’s going to make it much more difficult for agencies to regulate,”

Comments:

Ramifications both against the green movement in particular and government by socialist bureacrat in general. Were it not for Dobbs, this would be landmark. Lest anyone think that the intellectual influences of Bork and Scalia and Reagan judges didn't start this fire.....this is great news.

Agencies' business is to enforce laws passed by Congress. SCOTUS didn't put their thumb on the scales. They observed the EPA was messing with powers reserved for Congress, and slapped THEIR fingers.

#2. They say “harder to regulate” like it’s a bad thing. We’re supposed to have a government “of the people”, not government fiat. About time.

This effectively causes a goobernment shutdown. Now that unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, can't dictate policies and destroy our lives without Congressional legislation, nothing will be done by our goobernment. The only way to start goobernment operations is for Congress to actually do its job. And we all know Dracula in sunlight has a better than our Congress actually doing its job.

Five great rulings in one session. Truly historic. Thank you, President Trump! 1. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, - carrying a gun is a constitutional right. 2. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, - abortion is a matter for the states. 3. Carson v. Makin - states may not withold tuition aid from religious schools. 4. Kennedy v. Bremerton School District - a coach can pray in public after a football game. 5. West Virginia v. EPA - Executive Branch regulatory bureaucracies cannot legislate. More history in those five rulings, released in a couple of weeks than happens in most decades. Excellent news.

Many of us have long stated that there is nothing in the constitution that permits (or forbids) Congress to delegate its authority to the administrative state. The Supreme Court is now stating that legislating being performed by the administrative state (at least by the EPA) needs to be performed by the legislative branch of government. This is a big win for the people of the United States of America.

For decades, progressives have been getting things that they couldn't pass legislatively through a corrupted SCOTUS that decided that THEY were the ultimate authority. FINALLY we have SCOTUS justices that say, "Enough!". The People's elected Congress should pass laws for the important things they want. It they cannot muster the political strength to do something, the People have NOT given them the power to do so and so it should NOT be done, no matter how much the losers whine. Chucky Scummer only needs to win enough votes in Congress to pass the legislation he wants. If he can't, he should shut up. It is the failure of the dems to make their case and get elected. That is because the case for what they want is irrational and for the most part, the American People aren't that stupid.

If you’re keeping an eye on what Sen. John Cornyn has in store for your Second Amendment rights, you might want to watch his other hand. He has just recently reintroduced the Civics Secures Democracy Act, which would enable the federal government to impose critical race theory (CRT) — that is, state-sanctioned racism and anti-Americanism — on public school civics courses via federal grants. Of course, the drafters of the bill are too politically savvy to explicitly endorse critical race theory.

For congressional Republicans, the election can’t come soon enough. In the modern era, it’s hard to think of a time when the party out of power had more things going its way. Harry Enten, CNN’s political data analyst, recently noted that going by the generic ballot, things haven’t looked this good for Republicans to pick up House seats in the midterms since 1938. Since 1980, the party of the president in power has lost an average of 22 seats in the midterms. Republicans need only nine to win the majority. Of course, Republicans think this means they’re doing something right.

In the neighborhood in which my kids grew up, none of the high-school-aged boys wanted to date. The problem was that the high school girls were too difficult. They were in the early stages of becoming the screaming, woke feminists who were so prominent during the George Floyd rallies. On Twitter, a girl like that, only now grown up to be a mother and academic, tweeted something generically nasty about the “alt-right” hatefulness of White boys in middle school—and an 18-year-old decided to explain exactly why White boys are embracing non-woke standards.

Affix the term “disinformation” to the claim in need of investigation and the chances of a genuine inquiry plummet from hardly ever to "forget about it."

Senate Democrats want to pass a $500 billion package that would include major reforms to health care, climate change, and taxes, according to a report. NBC News reported that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who was primarily responsible for tanking the Build Back Better Act, continues to hold talks with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on a reconciliation package that would spend $500 billion and raise $1 trillion in revenue. The package would primarily focus on health care, energy, and taxes. One source told NBC News that the “ceiling” for climate change funding would be capped at $300 billion, making it a significant fixture of the package.

Although this idea is commonly viewed as a “conspiracy theory” this label is inappropriate because there is a large amount of evidence showing this does happen, and both the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the link exists.

For many readers, the above title will conjure up memories of the 2008 housing crash caused by the proliferation of subprime mortgages and the subsequent tsunami of defaults. But a better corollary for the coming Biden bust is the Carter crash that occurred three decades earlier. During the final two years of Carter’s term, sales of existing and new homes collapsed because the Fed was forced to raise interest rates sharply to get double-digit inflation under control. This, in turn, produced double-digit mortgage rates that priced millions of potential buyers out of the market.

The project titled, "Societal assumptions regarding typical personhood and their effects on reasoning development," seeks to uncover the developmental processes by which children "acquire the belief that White males represent the default person – a pattern rooted in the ideologies of androcentrism (centering the experiences of men) and ethnocentrism (centering the experiences of White people) prevalent in the United States," according to the grant summary on USASpending.gov.

New York state filed a tax warrant against Brook Avenue Press, a children-focused publishing house Ocasio-Cortez founded in 2012, on July 6, 2017, to collect $1,618 in unpaid corporate taxes. Ocasio-Cortez has yet to pay a penny of her overdue corporate taxes, causing the current balance of the tax warrant to swell by 52% to $2,461 as of Wednesday afternoon.
