For EPA. Court took power away from unelected bureaucrats and gave it back to elected officials.

For Row. Court took power away from itself and gave it back to elected officials.

You can vote for those elected officials. This is democracy working as intended.

Not when elected officials can pick their voters and throw out the election results they don't like. Please join the rest of us in reality and not the la la land where our system is working or even healthy.

Given that largely only happens in liberal states, yet liberal states are the ones most against this ruling, it makes you question the motives of those concerned.

The elected officials never lost this power, if congress didn't want the EPA to do something they could draft and vote on a bill to that effect by Tuesday.
