250: The West Virginia v EPA SCOTUS ruling

from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill

P&C drink and review a homebrewed India Pale Ale, then discuss the recent SCOTUS decision on EPA over-reach.  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.  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.  This case illustrates a big difference between the political left and the right.  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.  The right puts more of an emphasis on restraints on power and respect for legitimate authority. They don't want government by crisis.
