Excellent. I totally agree with shutting down legislation by the executive branch.

Methane Rules??? methane has Never ruled this planet...not even during the time of the dinosaur farting period.
I can't believe there are still creatures upon this earth that are terrified about a very, very, very small part of our atmosphere, much less allowed to do their evil damage to our environment, our farm animals and our business, at our expense, for a few more months.

Before I read this post it had already become way beyond evident to old dino that appeals courts = too many pinheaded libs.

What is interesting is that after all these years it has become so obvious that regulations, almost any regulations, exists not for the sugar coated things they were set up to protect, but simply to put more (and more, and more, and more) power in the hands of government in order to control the people, and give more power to the legislators via the bureaucrats

This is a blatantly partisan act and the judges involved should be impeached. In my opinion, the very first act that Congress should take to rein in the judiciary would be to impeach these activist judges, including the ones who stayed the travel ban despite explicit Congressional authorization granting that power to the President.

YES!!! +100

I suspect Scott Pruitt will appeal the ruling, which will result in a delay in implementing the rules, and if necessary take it to the SCOTUS. As an Oklahoma resident I've been impressed with our former Attorney General in how carefully and methodically he pursues legal action. He led the effort that killed the Obama Waters of the US, and put the new excessively strict air pollution rules on hold. I suspect as head of EPA, opposition is going to learn there really is a new sheriff in town.

This is a perfect example of the muddled mess that results when Congress enacts laws that purport to delegate legislative and judicial powers to an executive branch agency. In my view the entire concept of administrative law violates the separation of powers and is unconstitutional. I want a supreme court that will void the entire Code of Federal Regulations. That won't solve everything but it's a start.

Read more closely. The Senate voted on "another item". In any case, the Senate is not the whole of the Legislative Branch, and just hat vote is quite irrelevant, unless made law.
The powers of the EPA were established long ago, and they are Executive Powers. None of the decisions in question are administration of law. They are administration of the powers given to the Executive Branch by the act that form d the EPA. What business does the Judicial Branch have in limiting the powers of one administration against another? Also, are the biases of the justices not concerning?

"The Judicial Branch just gave the Obama administration another several months of control."
My reading of it is that the Senate voted to keep the rules in place, EPA wanted to delay implementation, and the court said the delays were unreasonable. The article is ambiguous because it says the EPA "crafted" the rules and the Senate voted to keep them. It does not explain how the EPA crafted the rules but cannot re-craft them. If it really is up to Congress and not agencies to make these rules, then the court ruling makes perfect sense.

Yeah, I saw it first last night on my iNews, but just grabbed one for the post.

I just don't understand how the EPA can be sued such. It is like suing Ford to keep making the Tempo after it decided no to.

Surely you could find a less biased source of this "
news" than the statist propaganda arm, NPR.
This article is filled with lies and the purveyors should be fired for it
