Anyone cheering about the EPA getting weakened by the supreme court...

Should be made to live next to the power plants, and chemical plants, and factories that they want to see unregulated.

It’s now up to elected officials to do their job and be held accountable, versus the unelected epa

@DownTheStreet the elected officials gave authority to the EPA to free up their time while also bringing in people who have a better understanding.

This supreme court ruling is BS. The SC states it is up to Congress to act. They did by electing a panel of better educated to enact on their behalf. So this new ruling is just doublespeak.
@DownTheStreet never vote Dem. They're the no action team Corp.

@MethDozer In theory but having a good friend who works for the epa fairly senior he tells me they do whatever they want and the government oversight is almost nil. Plus they always push for more regulation because that = more budget = more pay. It’s a mess.

@DownTheStreet the epa is government.

@Roundandroundwego government agencies are dictatorships run by ideologists who end up controlling our lives far more than any elected official ever does

@MethDozer In theory … in reality their leaders are unelected ideologists with no accountability to the electorate, yet control our lives far more than the elected officials ever do

@DownTheStreet this ruling doesn't change nor is about how the EPA controls "our" lives. It was about how it controls private big buisiness.
@DownTheStreet democracy is more likely in government. No way Murka will democracy! You lie. Government must be the enemy! Murka says!

@DownTheStreet You mean like the Supreme court and Electoral college?
DownTheStreet · 51-55, M
@MethDozer your disdain for those organizations is used to justify the lack of democratic controls on agencies?
MethDozer · M
@DownTheStreet democracy is and has been owned by those organizations my entire life.

@DownTheStreet the EC and SC aren't democracy.

@MethDozer The EC: ensuring the party that loses, wins. Lol
@MethDozer obviously we can't use government agencies, conservatives say they're not democracy. But conservatives say that the USA isn't a democracy. Whatever! Clearly we all die. Conservatives control us.
