Breaking: Supreme Court Justice Just Handed Obama Admin HUGE Victory That’ll Have The 'Pres' Grinning
Chief justice rejects plea to block air pollution rule
...the chief justice unilaterally decided to reject the motion...
Roberts did so by rejecting a bid to block the EPA’s controversial Mercury and Air Toxics Standards regulations.
Chief Justice Roberts unilaterally rejected a petition from the attorneys general of 20 states contending the EPA didn’t have the legal power to make the rules forcing states to meet global warming standards that would initiate the closure of hundreds of power plants, most especially those operating on coal.
The EPA rules are so strict many characterize them as proof of Obama’s war on the coal industry.
Yet, in a surprise move, the chief justice unilaterally decided to reject the motion to stay the Obama global warming regulations without putting the decision to the full court. Roberts also did not reveal any reasons for his actions.
The chief justice’s decision comes despite an earlier 5-4 ruling that the whole Mercury and Air Toxics Standards scheme is basically illegal.
In contravention to the previous ruling, the Obama administration put the rules into effect anyway claiming it is addressing the shortcomings and will adjust the rules as appropriate.
As The Hill reported earlier this year, the administration insisted there was no reason to stay the new regulations. “The requested stay,” Obama’s EPA said, “would harm the public interest by undermining reliance interests and the public health and environmental benefits associated with the rule. The application lacks merit and should be denied."
Naturally the Obama administration said it was “very pleased” with Chief Justice Robert’s latest decision.
As noted above, the same rules were opposed by his colleagues on the court last June. Recently deceased Justice Antonin Scalia was particularly pointed writing, “It is not rational, never mind ‘appropriate,’ to impose billions of dollars in economic costs in return for a few dollars in health or environmental benefits. Statutory context supports this reading."
Still, after the decision in Michigan v. Environmental Protection Agency, a three-judge panel allowed the controversial rules to stay in place while the EPA attempted to complete a review for possible adjustments to meet the concerns of critics.
It was this ruling the 20 attorneys general wanted the U.S. Supreme Court to address by putting a halt to the rules.
In its report on the decision, the New York Times ended its article with a haunting note: “The action by Chief Justice Roberts is an indication that Justice Scalia’s death (MURDER?) has altered the balance of power on the Supreme Court.” (Just MURDER your opposition to get your plan in place.)
