The Supreme Court closed out one of its most consequential sessions in history yesterday, with its ruling in West Virginia v EPA, a case that goes to the heart of a growing problem: the Legislative Branch's abdication of rule making to the Executive Branch and its alphabet soup of agencies.
“…this is a war. Over liberty, over Constitutional values and those born of the Enlightenment, over control of our lives, and over the living standards that all these have served to improve across the centuries.“
Congressional authorization for the executive branch to do anything naturally has to have limits.
The best thing: this ruling opens up other opportunities to roll back regulations where the executive branch has interpreted congressional authorization as a blank check. Let the litigation begin.
I doubt we're all gonna die. I'm pretty sure at least as many people as survived the biblical flooding of Manhattan in 2013 will survive the Earth catching fire later this year.

Gosh, I hope you are right!

You mean catching fire 22 years ago, right? ;)
Gosh darn it, nobody told me. I would have brought marshmallows.
