SCOTUS DELIVERS IT'S DECISION ON THE EPA'S REGULATION OF CO2.
"I've got a pen and I've got a phone - and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward."
B. Obama
SCOTUS eviscerates the EPA's delegated authority to regulate CO2.
Roberts wrote the decision, but it was Gorsuch who sharpened his quill and delivered a killing stroke to the Obama-era Imperial Presidency:
"But the Constitution does not authorize agencies to use pen-and-phone regulations as substitutes for laws passed by the people’s representatives. "
The Roberts decision invokes a 'major decisions' doctrine that suggest that only Congress may make such decisions.

From SCOTUSblog:
"The Supreme Court on Thursday truncated the Environmental Protection Agency’s power to regulate greenhouse gases. The ruling may hamper President Joe Biden’s plan to fight climate change and could limit the authority of federal agencies across the executive branch."

"Roberts’ full-throated embrace of the major-questions doctrine – a judicially created approach to statutory interpretation in challenges to agency authority – likely will have ripple effects far beyond the EPA. His reasoning applies to any major policymaking effort by federal agencies."
I find it amazing that the destruction of the Obama era pen and phone model of ruling by fiat, the era of unrestrained authority to issue Executive Authority, was ended by Chief Justice Roberts, even if it was Justice Gorsuch who could not resist inserting the 'pend and phone' phraseology into his concurring opinion, just to make it clear who he was hating on.
We see here yet again a return to the rule of law. In this case, we see that 'major decisions' are not to be made by executive fiat or by the Administrative State itself. The authority to make such decisions rests with the representatives of the people who are directly elected by them.
As noted by SCOTUSblog, this decision will reverberate throughout the out of control federal agencies.
There will be an abundance of legislation and litigation that will result from all of this.

I was watching the SCOTUSblog this morning. Clipping wings and several at a time. Is FJB going to say ignore this ruling as well....
The #DeepState is the #AdmistrativeState, which has compromised every major U.S. Government Agency and Department.
This could not happen with a lawfully elected Congress and Legislative oversight.
A Republic highjacked by #ElectionFraud is not a Republic, it is an
#AdmistrativeState under the controll of the bad actors perpetrating the fraud.
We now know how they cheat.

Correct.
A nation whose government rests on a stolen election cannot proceed into history with legitimacy.
Unless the stolen election is resolved, there is no USA anymore, merely a bureaucracy and a muddle of states.
Trump swore to prevent this, to preserve the Constitution.
Biden is struggling to destroy it, as he should, being a stooge of foreign powers.
Trump knew this was coming.
And he dealt with it.
We just have to endure long enough to get to the other side.
Agreed. And we must do more than endure. We must #ACTIVATE #DECERTIFY #LAVA (Let America Vote Again).
DOX the RINO's and #DemoKKKrats, with e-Mail, their campaigns on socials. Call them out for their crimes and for ignoring the issues.
