WASHINGTON (OfficialWire) — The Supreme Court won’t hear a challenge to a tough new clean air requirement limiting sulfur dioxide emissions.
The high court on Tuesday refused to hear an appeal from businesses and industrial interests involving an Environmental Protection Agency regulation setting emission levels of sulfur dioxide, a colorless gas with the smell of rotting eggs. Sulfur dioxide from power plant smokestacks can be carried long distances by wind and weather and has been linked to various illnesses including asthma.

The Supreme Court is increasingly showing itself to be a non-functioning retirement home for jurists. The usurping of congressional power by the various (EPA specifically) regulatory agencies is definitely a topic of adjudication responsibility by the Supreme Court. Too bad our last tool of the Republic is asleep in their rocking chairs!
Yeah… just like they probably wont hear an order to boot Obama from Office cause he was not born here… They will say there’s not enough evidence…. so that will be a slap in the face tothe FBI then…. won’t it. They were the ones, along with Joe Arpaio to say Obama’s BC was a fraud..
