| qball User ID: 785905  Canada06/23/2014 10:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm slightly confused so I'll ask a question Is this a win in the fact that the federal's were not successful because if they had been they would have been able to use this as a backbone for other unconstitutional regulations in the future? And was this a loss because we are still allowing more pollutants into the atmosphere than we need to be? Is this a catch 22? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5944017 You must be one of those libtards who believes that CO2 is a major pollutant and, at the same time, uses plenty of energy to drive around town and keep your house nicely warm in the winter and nicely cool in the summer. IOW, you're probably not too different from -- or maybe a poorer version of -- POS Al Gore and that POS Obummer, who runs over to the golf course or flies off to Hawaii when his boredom meter is too high. Hey, libtard, since you're such a humanitarian, how about paying for my increased cost of gasoline and energy. |

On the first issue, which relates to rule that covered about 3% of carbon emissions, five conservatives ruled that the EPA had exceeded its authority. On the second, which relates to the rule that covers about 83% of carbon emissions, three conservatives and the four liberals ruled that the EPA could continue with the rule rule it had put forward. In essence, it is really more a victory for the EPA than not. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 8003310 United States06/24/2014 12:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WASHINGTON – A divided Supreme Court blocked the Obama administration Monday from requiring permits for greenhouse gas emissions from new or modified industrial facilities, but the ruling won't prohibit other means of regulating the pollutant that causes global warming. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33676911 The court's conservative wing ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency exceeded its authority by changing the emissions threshold for greenhouse gases in the Clean Air Act to regulate more stationary sources. That action can only be taken by Congress, Justice Antonin Scalia's opinion said. The 5-4 ruling, which partially reverses a 2012 federal appeals court decision, represents a moral but somewhat hollow victory for industry and state government opponents of the federal regulations. They have complained that the rules could cost billions of dollars to implement and threaten thousands of jobs. [link to www.usatoday.com] Global warming is a bunch of BS anyway. |

They were saying the EPA has no authority on telling business what to do or not do. WE really really need to down size this Government.....Good Grief!

The Koch Brothers Take a Loss As The Supreme Court Rules The EPA Can Regulate Greenhouse Gasses In a complicated ruling today, the Supreme Court dealt a blow to the Koch Brothers by not overturning the EPA’s ability to regulate greenhouse gasses. The utility industry, the Chamber of Commerce, and 13 states led by Texas argued that the EPA does not have the legal authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, but by a vote of 7-2, the court ruled that the EPA does have the authority to regulate emissions at facilities that already release pollutants. Republicans and the Koch Brothers have been contesting the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions for years, so this is a major loss for the Kochs and a definitive step in the fight against climate change. The EPA has the authority to regulate, so now the political battle will move towards regulating future polluters, not just those who are already polluting. |
