More epic stuff from the clown princes of Trumpland.

Essentially, the EPA creation didn't specify carbon emission control, so it can't be used to limit carbon emissions.

I'm sure such emissions were big news in 1970.

The EPA was created by a Republican President too.

The only way out of this death spiral is to win big in the midterms and expand/pack the court. It is has lost all semblance of impartiality.

As I said, I was never a believer in this until I read Dobbs. I now support expanding the court.

Next stop: planes, trains, and automobiles didn’t exist when the constitution was written so the federal government cannot regulate those industries.

That had crossed my mind along with assault rifles.

They seem to have dragged themselves straight to Fundamentalist, so I assume it's all part of a big game leading to American Civil War II.

No sir — I classify all who have opined on Trump positively as far right, and negatively as homeless, because the center-right is not an option for them. Theoretically and ideologically it might be, but not pragmatically. If there’s no one to vote for, your ideology isn’t relevant.

But there are less extreme candidates to vote for.

It think this is a matter of semantics, possibly to make the centre-right feel better about their lack of action, but I imagine I am not going to change your mind (nor you mine) on the subject, so we’ll have to agree to disagree, like proper centrists.

And burned by a Democrat one, or so it will be lied.

I assume they're all drunk when deciding this batshittery.

Anyone want to set the odds of this actually happening?

No, this is not the only option as Republicans will only return the favour when next in power.

Once more, with this latest EPA ruling, they are beginning to even go beyond the “originalist” framework in to something even more dangerous: “because we said so”.

That will be the framework for many more decisions to come.

Lol! My point entirely! He promised this in his presidential run and never touched it, so How's going to do it, when he's staunchly against removing the filibuster??
