America's Second Revolution About Over : Did Obama's EPA Win?

How is it that the EPA can legislate and the congress sits on their collective hands? With the obvious criminal actions on the part of the EPA, it would seem reasonable that members of congress would find it important enough to take a stand on the floor of those hallowed halls to defend our countries Constitution.

But in reality that has not happened and is not likely to happen given that it's to easy to do nothing and collect their pay checks all the while they watch the country be raped by the democrats and their friends in the environmental industry.

What's really happening here is that America is in the last throws of the second American revelation, a silent revelation where the people are willingly allowing our country to be overthrown by the progressive socialist liberal democrats without comment or protest. Millions stand by while our country is torn apart and then being reassembled to reflect  a new reality, a new morality of a population accepting subsistence as a way of life.

Are we reality ready to accept this new norm? God help us!

Obama Seeks to Nationalize Each State's Electric Power Sector

A new publication by Texas Public Policy Foundation's distinguished senior fellow Kathleen Harnett White identifies key points in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Power Plan (CPP).
Consider:
  • The EPA's Clean Power Plan (CPP) is a sweeping as­sertion of federal power over states to radically overhaul the entire system of electric power.
  • The federal government has nationalized the health care system through ObamaCare and nationalized banks through Dodd Frank. Now, the EPA would nationalize each state's electric-power sector.
  • But there is a huge distinction between these laws and the proposed rule: ObamaCare and Dodd Frank Con­gress enacted new federal law. Here, with no new law, EPA has acted in spite of Congress's continual refusal to regulate CO2.
  • The rule's purpose is to reduce carbon dioxide from the electric power sector by 30 percent. When you do the climate arithmetic, this rule would reduce supposed glob­al warming by 0.02 degrees Celsius. This is an irrelevant change.
  • Compliance with the EPA's require­ments would cede fundamental state authority over elec­tric utilities. Commissioner Tony Clark of FERC testified to Congress that the EPA's rule fundamentally re-orders the longstanding relation between the feds and states to create a "mother-may-I" relationship that has never be­fore existed.
One of the nation's preeminent Constitutional schol­ars, Laurence Tribe at Harvard Law School, denounced this rule. His Wall Street Jounral editorial recently stated, "Frustration with congressional inaction cannot justify throwing the Constitution overboard to rescue this lawless EPA pro­posal."
