EPA reform…more likely than ever

When President Trump attempts to reform the EPA to get it away from radical environmental authoritarianism, he'll now have a much clearer path. This week, in the case of Marin Audubon Society, et al v. FAA, et al, the US Court of Appeals in DC wiped out 46 years' of federal environmental regulations.

The court ruled that a body called the Council on Environmental Quality inside the Executive Office of the President has for years been writing environmental regulations and guidelines and illegally publishing them in the Federal Record, as if they had the force of law, when the CEQ has no such legal authority.

Streiff at Redstate.com has details at the link, along with the ironic news that the case was actually brought by environmentalists who wanted a regulation enforced, but it caused the judges to notice that the regulations never should have been imposed in the first place.

Look for other agencies to rush to reimpose decades' worth of now-overturned regulations before Trump gets in, but with the SCOTUS having killed the Chevron deference that gave those agencies preferential treatment in court, the feds may be facing a tsunami of lawsuits against their ironfisted eco-dictates.
