Too bold a move for Roberts. Scalia and Alito, though …

“mumble mumble Amendment”

Either that or Roberts will cite a previous opinion of his to discover a new right to pollute.

Perhaps, since people can emit carbon dioxide without regulation and, since corporations are people, corporations can also emit carbon dioxide without regulation.

I think the welcoming sign to Hell says “Corporations are people, my friend.”

“mumble mumble Amendment”
Perfect.

And then the ruling against the idiots gets appealed and appealed and winds up in front of the Supremes, who decide by a 5-4 vote that science violates the constitutional right to extract and burn fossil fuels (it’s right there, in the mumble-mumble Amendment, you could look it up).

No good thing will come of this lawsuit.

The owner of the largest independent coal producer in the U.S. is threatening to sue the Environmental Protection Agency over its new regulations on carbon emissions from existing coal plants, saying the agency has been lying about the existence of global warming, and that the earth is actually getting colder.

In an extended profile published last month, Murray Energy Corp. founder Robert Murray told WV Executive that the EPA’s claims that climate change exists violates the federal Data Quality Act, which requires agencies to rely on quality, objective information to inform its decisions.

You may remember Robert Murray as the guy who made this workers take a day off without pay to act as props in Romneybot photo op. Or as the guy who then fired several of his workers just because Obama won re-election. Or maybe you remember him as the owner of some of the mines with the worst safety records in America.

But let’s go for it. Have the EPA bring in climate experts and he can bring in a few crackpots to show some cherry picked data to “prove” the Earth is cooling. This could turn out to be the Kittzmiller v Dover case of climate science.

I’m going with “..Is Rahall is more concerned about the donations of Big Coal lobbyists..”

Also too, I don’t know about anyone else, but to me this—

“The EPA needs to get their head out of the clouds and come back down to Earth where the rest of us must live and work,” Rahall said in a statement. “We don’t need more regulation to solve our energy challenges—we need more innovation.”

—sounded better when Homer Simpson said it.

Rhetorical question, of course.
