Finally, The SC Backs Up The EPA

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...y.html?hpid=z3

Air pollution downwinders get their day in court.


"The Supreme Court on Tuesday resurrected Environmental Protection Agency rules targeting air pollution that drifts across state borders, handing a victory to the Obama administration on one of its major environmental efforts.
The agency for years, under two administrations, has struggled to carry out a directive under the federal Clean Air Act to protect downwind states from pollution generated in other states, mostly from coal-fired power plants. The EPA’s rules from 2011 were challenged by a coalition of upwind states and industry, which prevailed in lower courts."

"But the Supreme Court justices ruled 6 to 2 that the latest effort could be implemented, with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg writing for the majority that the agency must have leeway to confront the “complex challenge” of interstate pollution." WaPo

And the only reason Scalia is on the court is that St. Ronnie thought we should have someone on the bench of a different ethnicity.
