<blockquote>At issue here was a rule adopted in <b>2011</b> as part of the Obama Administration’s <b>second-term</b> push to meet some environmental goals through the issuing of regulations from agencies under the aegis of the executive branch...</blockquote> Just one more example of the messin' with history that our time-traveling Preznit is so notorious for.

<i>Specifically, the case turned on something called the “good neighbor policy,” a Congressional mandate from 1977 that ordered “upwind states” to find ways to keep their polluters from sending so much polluted air to “downwind states” that the downwinders could not themselves comply with federal clean air standards. </i>

Still waiting for our second-hand smoke from Colorado and Washington...

That's not really fair. Thomas can be a whole lot crazier than Scalia when he takes the time to write his own opinions.

WTF is actually wrong with Scalia? Bunions? Hemorrhoids? Erectile dysfunction? Alzheimer's? Surely nobody is just this dickish, all the fucking time.
