As these two recent stories indicate, the U.S. EPA agency has seemingly morphed into an enemy of the people. After doing much good for the nation's water and air qualities during the 1970's and 80's, the EPA has gone bureaucratically rogue by simply issuing new policies, fines/fees, onerous regulations and decrees without any representation - kinda like that old meme of 'no taxation without representation'. The Supreme Court has finally stepped in, via an unprecedented action, to delay the EPA from imposing even more potential harm on Americans from the EPA's 'Clean Power Plan'. Based on the recent evidence of the EPA's malfeasance and poor judgment, maybe the Supremes finally recognized that the rogue EPA had to be reined in.
