SCOTUS Says EPA Can Regulate Carbon

ThanatosMinor writes "In a 5-4 decision today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, saying that the EPA's reasons for not doing so in the past were 'arbitrary, capricious or otherwise not in accordance with law.' The ruling does not require the EPA to regulate carbon. But concerns about global climate change and its ties to human activity did appear to be deciding factors in the case." The AP coverage stresses that the ruling upholds the right of states to sue the Federal government over issues of global warming.

How is this Your Rights Online? How is it News for "Nerds" ?

It has nothing to do with Online. It is the left leaning this site has presented ever since the politics section that was supposed to be temporary came about and stayed as a permanent.

And because you disagree or challenge the premise, your down moded out of sight. The default settings attempt to hide posts marked as troll but after discovering this trend, I gave a modifier to those posts and it really affirms this observation. The fun thing is that you were only complaining about the place it was presented, if you were to complain about the premise of the story, you would have multiple down mods stacked on your post. Try changing your settings on stories like this and you will see what I mean.

Scalia making dumb arguments? Surely you jest... that never happens! It's not like he routinely makes arguments not supported by facts or reason.
