did they get their bribe moneyback since republicans couldn't kill EPA and they have to stop assaulting us with their pollution? just wondering.
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.
The EPA declared victory in a statement, “Today is a good day for all supporters of clean air and public health and those concerned with creating a better environment for future generations. We are pleased that the Court’s decision is consistent with our approach to focus on other Clean Air Act tools like the Clean Power Plan to limit carbon pollution as part of the President’s Climate Action Plan.”
Meanwhile, Justice Scalia grumbled that the EPA got almost everything they wanted out of the ruling.The EPA wanted the power to regulate 86% of emissions, the court ruled that they could regulate 83%.now here is a reason for no lifetime appt. instead of saying the decision was good for American people and protects us from Koch's and friends polluting the earth which ironically is everything the EPA wanted didn't he? picking winners and losers when the majority clearly chose the people as winners shows the apathetic right wing attitude of Scalia he sounds disappointed even in text he didn't get everything he wanted, all of us in respiratory arrest.
