Court Strikes Down EPA's Abuse of PowerDiane Katz, August 21, 2012 at 9:17 pm A major component of the Obama Administration's regulatory crackdown on fossil fuels was struck down Tuesday by a federal appeals court panel that ruled the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule "transgressed statutory boundaries." The decision vacates a measure that otherwise jeopardized thousands of jobs and the reliability of the nation’s electricity supply. blog.heritage.org/2012/08/21/court-strikes-down-epas-abuse-of-power/

Federal judge blocks Obama’s water rule By Timothy Cama - 08/27/15 05:30 PM EDT A federal judge in North Dakota acted late Thursday to block the Obama administration’s controversial water pollution rule, hours before it was due to take effect. Judge Ralph Erickson of the District Court for the District of North Dakota found that the 13 states suing to block the rule met the conditions necessary for a preliminary injunction, including that they would likely be harmed if courts didn't act and that they are likely to succeed when their underlying lawsuit against the rule is decided. The decision is a major roadblock for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers, who were planning Friday to begin enforcing the Waters of the United States rule, expanding federal jurisdiction over small waterways like streams and wetlands. But the Obama administration says it will largely enforce the regulation as planned, arguing that the Thursday decision only applies to the 13 states that requested the injunction. thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/252140-judge-blocks-obamas-water-rule

The unanimous ruling against the Obama administration’s agenda came in a case between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Hawkes Co. of Minnesota. The corps had designated land belonging to the company as a “wetlands” and told the private landowners they had to comply with all the corps’ rules and regulations. And the Obama administration argued that the company wasn’t even permitted to go to court to challenge the bureaucratic nightmare the owners faced. The Supreme Court slapped down that argument 8-0... www.wnd.com/2016/05/supremes-slap-down-obama-in-wetlands-fight/#TJWwbgoPYcCzpYbW.03
