@Wipqozn I think the implications of this ruling will be far broader than the EPA, basically SCOTUS has said that Congress can't delegate the details of policy to executive agencies (you know, the agencies Congress created to figure out and implement the details of the areas in which they operate)
This is a major blow to the ability of government to, you know, work.
Of course, that's long been the goal of the right in the US; to break the government then run on how badly the government is broken...
@BradC Yeah. I'm taking Administrative Law next term. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to a more complete understanding of the implications of that ruling.
