The first Trump administration took a chainsaw to a lot of the regulations. However, when the worst president in American History was imposed on America, Biden\u2019s handlers went all in on what amounted to a totalitarians view of regulations, especially with the EPA.<\/p>\n<p>In came Trump II and forget the chainsaws, this time he was using nukes. One of the targets has been the special privileges on regulating cars and other things granted to Kalifornistan. Kalifornistan has been imposing their insane environmental ideas on the rest of the country by telling automakers that they won\u2019t be allowed to sell cars in the state. There have been other things going on as well that the Trump Administration is looking to correct. Recently, the EPA sent some rules to Congress. Now another COB judge has decided she is the ultimate power in America. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/litigation\/us-judge-bars-epa-effort-send-california-vehicle-emissions-rules-congress-2026-09-03\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Here are the details from Reuters<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>A judge in Washington on Wednesday blocked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from sending landmark California vehicle emissions rules for a potential repeal to the Republican-controlled Congress.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/79\/cf\/97\/79cf97a8a1dda3462047cc50a33ffbe8.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The four waivers sent by the EPA to Congress for review granted California authority to enact its own emission standards for cars and trucks as well as lawn-and-garden equipment. The Trump administration has mounted a multi-pronged effort to deny California the ability to require cleaner and more electric vehicles. The EPA and Congress have also enacted rules making it easier for automakers to sell more gas-powered cars and trucks, while making it more expensive to buy Evs.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is a normal function of government. The Executive Branch is sending some information to Congress to review as part of their oversight duties. It happens all the time. The Administration is looking to have congress\u2019s input on some rule changes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>If the Trump administration is successful, it would bar California indefinitely from regulating tailpipe emissions and a future Democratic president would be unable to easily reinstate its regulatory powers.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>In June, the EPA said the vehicle emissions waivers granted to California by the federal Clean Air Act under prior Democratic administrations should have been sent to lawmakers under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which would allow the U.S. Senate to repeal them by a simple majority rather than the 60 votes needed for most legislation.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The CRA allows only regulations to be repealed. California sued to block the action in federal court, saying it was illegal to send the waivers to the Senate under the CRA since they were waivers and not regulations. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/th-772108034.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-39292\" src=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/th-772108034-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/th-772108034-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/th-772108034-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/th-772108034.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pretty standard stuff. A regulatory agency is asking Congress to pass a law to revoke these waivers. So what is going on? Once again, a progressive Obama judge has decided that congress shall not be permitted to review these regulations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said in a preliminary injunction ruling that the EPA had urged the court to &#8220;engage in Orwellian doublethink&#8221; in seeking approval and arguing the agency is ignoring serious inconsistencies.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>&#8220;The EPA cannot say one thing to Congress while ignoring any consequence from reclassifying these waivers as rules,&#8221; Howell ?said. &#8220;Such gamesmanship may seem like a clever policy move, ?but undermines honest compliance with the law.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/d2\/2e\/11\/d22e11ba617152ea1b2e9a39366f7f36.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>She directed EPA &#8220;to take all necessary steps within the agency\u2019s control to restore the status quo&#8221; before June.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>How does NO strike you?

I know she\u2019s one of the darlings of the left, but one thing congress is very good at, is protecting their privileges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The action came after the EPA sent the waivers to Congress for repeal.
