EPA DECISION

Today the Supremes issued one of the most important decisions of the term and potentially one of the most important decisions going forward. And the reason I’m doing this is because the Five didn’t even mention it.

In West Virginia v EPA the court said that the Obama EPA overstepped its bounds with their Clean Power Plan because something this major requires specific congressional action not just an agency deciding that some vague delegation gives them carte blanche.

Now this has put a major roadblock in the climate change frauds ability to implement their planet destroying nonsense. There is no way that they can ever get their nonsense through Congress.

Now here’s the more important point. This is the first step in overturning Chevron deference! What is Chevron deference you ask? Let me enlighten you. In the case of Chevron v NRDC 1984 the Supreme Court declared that when Congress delegates to an agency a non specific authority then courts must defer to the expertise of the agency and cannot second guess these experts. (As an aside, the notion that agency commissions are made up of subject matter experts is total nonsense. They are political actors. I saw it in my agency where people with no expertise in nuclear power matters were appointed to the commission. And Just look at what I have previously pointed out. Virtually everyone of Magoo’s cabinet appointees is clueless in the matter they are in charge of.)

Now I know that some and maybe now a majority of the Supreme Court believe that Chevron is wrong and that Congress must actually pass the legislation that agencies are now making up. If they follow through going forward, they can put an end to the unelected administrative state, ie the swamp

THE BEAST

I am writing this because even on the Five they are still talking about the agent in charge told yesterday’s bogus witness that they were getting into the Beast — the public nickname for the presidential limo.

Today I listened to Bongino because he was actually a secret service agent and so I wanted to hear his take on her testimony and it was as expected revealing. Bongino has been friends with the two agents involved for twenty years and worked with both of them back in the past and he himself was involved with transporting the presidents. Two points he made are noteworthy. First there is no secret service agent who has ever called the presidential limo the Beast. That has never happened which told him her story was false. And he got feedback from other former agents to the same affect.

Apparently the limo is referred to as the parade vehicle and the SUV that Trump actually got into was referred to as part of the Camp David fleet. So she even got the vehicle wrong.

And of course the agents involved also said there was no altercation in the vehicle.

He also briefly discussed how unlikely this was and if it did it was in front of at least five other people and no one has ever leaked this‘bombshell’. So her story is made up hearsay nonsense.

WIMBLEDON

Serena Williams just lost her first round match and that’s not really the point of this rant. Nothing is sadder than people who don’t know when to retire gracefully — especially mega millionaires. Both of the Williams sisters are past their use by dates significantly. They were great in their day but now they are just depriving young women from a spot in tournaments and especially majors.

Today Serena lost in over three hours and in the end her ass was dragging. If she would have won, I doubt she could have effectively competed in her next match and so I was glad she lost because it would have been tragic to have deprived her opponent, Tan, to continue when she clearly couldn’t. If Serena had come out and destroyed her basically obscure opponent then I would have applauded but she is way past her prime and should retire!

LORI LIGHTFOOT

This bug eyed idiot who can give Marty Feldman a run for the money is apoplectic about theDobbs decision. Explain how lesbians are affected? This is just knee jerk leftist reactions. Everyone on the View went crazy even though most of them, Whoopi and Behar in particular have no interest in the subject because I can’t believe anyone would screw them, and they are old as dirt.

STANDING

I referred to this concept in my rant on Dobbs and it occurred to me that many of you don’t really understand what it means. So I will explain further. To have standing you have to have be demonstrably affected by what you are suing about. You can’t sue because you don’t like the color of someone’s house color in another city. It doesn’t affect you.

The reason I decided to do this rant is because I said I don’t think anyone will have standing to challenge a law allowing contraception or sodomy or gay marriage. Please explain how someone using birth control personally affects you. You might claim that somehow it is contrary to your religion but that would never get you standing.

Now with respect to sodomy — and just remember that it doesn’t just cover gay sex, it also covers oral sex either gay or straight and anal sex either way — please explain how two gay men having sex personally affects you. You can’t because it doesn’t.

And lastly please explain how two men or two women getting married personally affects you. Once again you can’t because it doesn’t. You may find it repulsive but that’s not sufficient to give you standing. There are a lot of things I find ridiculous or offensive to my sensibilities but that doesn’t give me a right to impose my preferences on you.

if these issues get sent back to the states, which I don’t think they will because of a lack of standing, then you can try to get your legislatures to agree with you. I don’t see that happening in almost anywhere.

COINCIDENCE?

Yesterday and today The Pelican Brief has been playing on cable. It is based on an excellent book by John Grisham and stars Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington. It’s about killing two Supreme Court Justices so that they can be replaced by more favorable people. Is it a coincidence or a subtle call to action?

QUESTION

I don’t know the answer to this question but I suspect that it is yes. The supremes got the federal government out abortion today but and I suspect most of you don’t know I believe it’s 70% of all abortions today are by a pill you get through the mail and not in clinics which is the real reason that many are closing down. Will these pills including the morning after pill be banned?
