So what would be the scope and job of the EPA then if not being able act as and Agency that set regulatory guidelines for "Environmental Protection"?


That'd be like a ruling saying that the DEA doesn't have the authority to set policy for Drug Enforcement.

And I don't necessarily see why it's considered a win to take the oversight of a highly technical scientific topic away from technicians and scientists, and "put the power in the hands of congress" (a group that isn't necessarily comprised of technical and scientific minds...especially not in that field)

Is this GOP effort to neuter the EPA just petty retaliation for the Democrats trying to neuter ICE?

My thing is that, people seem to point blame at something that the supreme court has done, but at the end of the day, isn't it our congress that is holding the keys on this one? Congress of course consisting of elected officials, in which case, this all blows back on voters.

Regarding the EPA ruling, it may have been due to limitations in language of the CAA, which again would end up falling on Congress to update, ie the voters representatives.
