Justice Kagan steps out of line, big-time

cant have the scotus giving power to the people can we?

Well....when The People have The Power because they think majority rule is absolute and without some kind of check and balance system, they can do some bad things.

the EPA was never granted complete control to shut companies down. Richard Nixon created the EPA, not the representatives.

The EPA as with other agencies were weaponized by democrats to further their agenda. Again, The EPA was NEVER given absolute power. You as usual misrepresent the facts. The EPA was to work with the states and make recommendations, not given a dictatorship.

Dems abuse every thing they touch.

@AverageJoe1 - I was simply asking for opinions, regardless of all you just typed, of the comments of Kagan, which are obviously nothing to do with her job.

Don't be silly, Joe. Writing dissenting opinion does have to do with her job

The EPA regulations are discretionary and will vary based on the political ideology of those who run it. A Biden administration will obviously pass different regulations than the Trump administration did and the People can and do factor that when they cast their vote.

The People's representatives decided in 1970 that the EPA had discretionary power to identify air pollutants and regulate them accordingly.

It's not their fault that over half a century later, a few fanatics in black robes would pretend that they didn't do it clearly and unequivocally enough.

You don’t have to be an expert to come to that conclusion you just have to not be an idiot or a denier of the obvious results of climate change.
It’s as if a dissenting text shouldn’t point out the possible social consequences of SCOTUS limiting the police to non sex related crimes, it might just result in more sex crimes.

May I add that your 'denier' reference points out the fact that some people believe there is no global warming, certainly that humans have little to do with it. I don't know myself, that is not my point.
My point: Since it is not a proven fact, then this Kagan character is telling us ONLY her personal opinion on global warming. She could be wrong, could she not? Suzianne might call her a fear mongerer. She has my family and myself scared to death. This is totally unbecoming of this judge.

Justice Kagan put this in her dissent. I could scream! Her job is to be final arbiter of the law, insure equal justice under the law. Everything otherwise surrounding the decision of the court is none of her business. Jesus. That is a fact. Only liberals run their m ...[text shortened]... .....and, be able to allow EPA to make law.
Can not one of you sit back and think for a moment?

So if you were charged with figuring all this out, you would not recognize that in 1970 a mistake was made? And now, thank god, it has been corrected? I am led to believe now that conservative judges are indeed more knowledgeable than are the libs.
Hey, are you just wild about the new Ms. Jackson!?!?

@no1marauder said
No, Nixon signed the law passed by Congress. He had little choice; the Clean Air Act amendments of 1970 which created the EPA passed with one vote against in the House and unanimously in the Senate.

The language of the Act clearly grants to the EPA power to identify and regulate air pollutants. The SCOTUS ruling is a judicial usurpation of the People's overwhelmingly expressed wishes.

What like holding up the installation of a justice for a year so you can shove a ultra right wing partisan hack onto the bench, and then shoving another one onto the bench in super quick time. All in order to allow ultra right wing evangelical states legislators to restrict a woman’s right to choose, or overriding states legislators who ban concealed carry permits.
Yeah those guys should hang their heads in shame huh!

well I’ll be…The EPA web site is lying then…

“Following the council’s recommendations, the president sent to Congress a plan to consolidate many environmental responsibilities of the federal government under one agency, a new Environmental Protection Agency. This reorganization would permit response to environmental problems in a manner beyond the previous capability of government pollution control programs:”
