EPA Reverses Course on Ozone Rule (nytimes.com)
The Trump administration said late Wednesday that it would not delay an Obama-era regulation on smog-forming pollutants from smokestacks and tailpipes (Editor's note: the link could be paywalled; alternative source), a move that environmental groups hailed as a victory. From a report: The Environmental Protection Agency decision came a day after 16 state attorneys general, all Democrats, filed a lawsuit challenging the delay with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. It reversed a decision that Scott Pruitt, the E.P.A. administrator, made in June to put off an Oct. 1 deadline for designating which areas of the country met new ozone standards. In announcing the ozone policy change, the agency appeared to leave the door open to extending the deadline again. But, officials said, the agency will work with states to help them deliver the needed information.
If the hairstyle is disturbed, I am conscious of correcting immediately. The disturbed hairstyle leads to disorder of the heart. It's not cool. "J" to be hardened in ultra hard is my partner from now. One of my good skills is that there is a technique called "summer salt kick" that kicks backward while somersaulting. I would be happy if you knew it .... Even using it several times, the hairstyle was stable. Hair style is also my own heart itself.

That's a typo. It should say could not. They damn well tried.
A technology news website reverses course on publishing technology news.
Let's make like a bird... and get the flock outta here.
his hair products are about to be declared an illegal threat to the ozone layer.
Someone must have told them that courts, unlike the general population, tend not to let slide the wink-and-nod BS of "ohhhh, we're not not doing it, we're just, y'know, delaying it. For reasons."

The next generation of cars will solve this problem. Heard Musk is working on the prototype for a coal powered car as well. Clean American coal will provide the power for electric and coal fired vehicles, solving the pollution problems caused by petroleum.
What is with that title? "EPA. Reversed Course on Ozone Rule"? Why is there a period after "EPA"?

Why include the pay-walled link if an alturnative exists? Is there money involved?
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
When only one party cares about pollution, then they pretty much get to lay claim to the entire left/right political spectrum. That other party is non-political.
No one likes smokestacks or tailpipes. I bet if there were a fan club for smokestacks and tailpipes, it would have very few members. And only a few mothers ever say to themselves "I hope my son grows up to be a smokestack or a tailpipe."
In short, I think most people are okay with these regulations.

Wrong.
The states can indeed get a court to compel Trump to act in accord with the law and require "Best technology" to abate a danger, as spelled out in the clean air act.
Like all fascisti, all you can see is the power of the gun. It's a pity all the nukes are designed and built in Blue California, isn't it?
90% of Obama's EPA rules were written by executive order. Why can't Trump simply unwrite them with another executive order?
ELI5.
a move that environmental groups hailed as a victory
Why do stories have to have headlines for everything like it's a military battle or sporting event? It's no wonder so many have become combative in recent times. I'm sure it's always been this way to some extent, it just seems so over the top and never ending these days.
At this rate I expect the headline for a story like this in ten years to be "Environmental groups declared this a hard fought bloody victory against those who torture and maim baby fur seals and puppies"
Of course on the other side they will claim, "The dirty cavemen have descended on your city like murderous vikings to pillage your hard earned money and rape your pets"
Wrong.
A State can't just use any court to compel a specific desired action from the Executive branch.
They'd have to take it up with a federal court, and it would ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court, and all they still can't compel Trump to do anything specifically. They'd declare what Trump's administration did or didn't do to be legal or not, and it would be up to Congress to create new laws, the EPA to act within those laws and their charter, and/or Trump's administration to do something else (or not) in a fashion that jibes with (or skirts) the Supreme Court's ruling.
You are seriously asserting that the only remedy to an Administration not obeying the law is more laws? I think you may be confused, perhaps from chasing your own tail too much.

Seems like all the right does is bitch and moan about the left, without ever doing anything positive for society.
Is he wrong?
If he is wrong then tell us how he is wrong and what the correct way is.
btw: It's bad practice to put a question mark at the end of a statement. Erase the "you" and it becomes a question.
"It's a pity all the nukes are designed and built in Blue California, isn't it?"
If they are indeed designed and made there then that is good for the Californian economy. Why would that be a pity? The owner (the federal government) ships most of them out once they are finished. All factors of the supply chain for nukes are pretty much moot points. Just like it is a moot point that four of the five largest military bases in the world are in red states (North Carolina, Kentucky, Texas, Georgia). In fact the majority of the other US military bases are also in red states - but it's a moot point. It just doesn't matter.
He isn't a fascist for being willing to fight, wanting his opposition to pick a fight, or dreaming of winning the imaginary fight. That's not what fascism is.
Are you sure you want less ozone?

I dream of streets filled with their corpses, that would be a good day.
You seem to be a nice human being.
Well, first of all, Federal Courts exist precisely to give people remedy when the Government won't enforce existing laws, so he's wrong on that front. And even if he was right, if an Administration refuses to enforce one set of laws, how precisely does passing even more laws remedy the situation? So he's just being absurd on that point.

Once more, WRONG, any Federal court can indeed compel the administration
He's a fascist if he thinks the solution to liberals is murder dolt
meanwhile, where are the people who know how to shut down a launch remotely?
Right her on the left coast.
