Supreme Court right to nix Biden’s power play

The Supreme Court on June 27 was right to place on hiatus something that was both figuratively and literally another attempted power grab by President Joe Biden’s hyperaggressive regulators.

While the legal result was appropriate, the practical results of the decision could be even better. The decision could save both money and lives.

In the 5-4 decision in Ohio v. Environmental Protection Agency, the court majority put at least a temporary hold on new EPA regulations designed to limit emissions, from power plants and industries, which could be carried downwind from one state into other states. For various reasons, numerous states contend that the new regulations exceeded EPA’s scope of authority or that EPA did not follow proper procedure in promulgating the rules.
