He couldn't his environmental agenda through Congress, so the President is attempting push his plan by issuing scores of
new EPA regulations.
The Obama administration is looking forward to a host of new
environmental regulations that go far beyond the president's plans to
issue new standards for greenhouse gas emissions from new and existing
power plants.
The new regulations, previewed in the
administration's spring regulatory roadmap released this week, cover
everything from pollution runoff from military ships to landfill methane
emissions, and in some cases will be issued long after called for under
the law.
This September, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to
propose rules for greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants, and
next June will issue draft rules for existing facilities.
Those
dates match up with the timeline President Obama has given for the new
regulations, which supporters have cheered as a major step in
confronting climate change.
Though this tactic isn't new, it is surely unconstitutional and these economy killing regulations are extremely worrisome. Obama is desperate for a "win" to promote his personal legacy, Constitution and individual liberty be damned!
Tell Congress to uphold and enforce the Constitution. That is, after all, what they were elected to do! And while they're at it, they need to force this President to do the same!
Addendum:
A little refresher for the President and Congress too courtesy of "School House Rock".
