250: The West Virginia v EPA SCOTUS ruling
Kwadwo Sheldon
Description
<p>P&C drink and review a homebrewed India Pale Ale, then discuss the recent SCOTUS decision on EPA over-reach. </p> <p>The boys do a quick review of the role of administrative agencies and their authority to regulate, and how that relates to Congressional authority to control things through legislation. </p> <p>Then they look at the specific issues relating to EPA's Clean Power Plan, where they forced coal-burning plants to reduce their emissions to levels based on a switch to natural gas. </p> <p>This case illustrates a big difference between the political left and the right. </p> <p>The left doesn't care as much about legal authority if they agree with the goal. They also love to push the idea of a crisis, because when you're in a crisis, legal authority and procedures don't matter as much. </p> <p>The right puts more of an emphasis on restraints on power and respect for legitimate authority. They don't want government by crisis. </p>
