Don't mess with Texas

Texas fights global-warming power grab
Lone Star state won't participate in Obama's lawless policy

or 16 years, the EPA allowed Texas to run its own permitting program to meet federal air-quality standards. But in May, the agency announced- out of nowhere - that the state is not in compliance with federal regulations. Even though Texas had met its clean-air obligations, the EPA announced it was taking over permitting.

The EPA, determined to move forward anyway, is attempting to rewrite the Clean Air Act administratively via a "tailoring rule," which would reduce the number of regulated sources. The problem with that approach? It's illegal. The EPA has no authority to rewrite the law. To pull it off, the EPA needs every state with a State Implementation Plan to rewrite all of its statutory thresholds as well.

”

Not speechless. Just enured.

As much as I like the idea of a goat barbeque, I don't want to pay more for gas.; 8/26/10, 3:00 PM
Rodger the Real King of France said...: Well, Texas, like Arizona with immigration, has the law on its side here. I'm thinkin' - what would the FEDs do? Blockade Houston? Shut down the delivery pipelines? Order the Texas National Guard to lay siege on the Texas government, and arrest them? Send in Federal troops? What? Like all bullies, if someone will stand up and punch these Obamnazis in the nose, they'll run away.; 8/26/10, 4:05 PM

I'm thinking the entire United States would be brought to it's knees if Texas only shut all of the valves on pipelines crossing the border.; 8/26/10, 4:18 PM

They are dead from the neck up. When someone puts a shovel in the ground, 50 regulatory agencies show up --- led, of course, by the EPA.; 8/26/10, 6:27 PM

Just sayin'.

Y'all be good and check your 6.; 8/26/10, 7:05 PM
