Paxton refusing to take his foot off the gas.
It’s past time to go scorched earth on federal overreach.
Get ‘em, Mr. Attorney General.




quote:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit challenging the Biden administration’s regulatory overreach, suing to stop the federal Department of Transportation’s unlawful new greenhouse gas reporting measure.


The new federal rule requires the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to establish a declining carbon dioxide target associated with transportation as a performance measure for the Interstate and National Highway System. The federal government claims this mandate is necessary to meet the Biden administration’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to reach net-zero across the economy by 2050. The rule also requires TxDOT to measure and report progress toward the achievement of those targets.


The Department of Transportation does not have the statutory authority to institute such a rule, and the mandate violates the Administrative Procedure Act. Further, the rule is arbitrary and capricious and violates the Spending Clause by impermissibly restricting the use of federal funds by requiring TxDOT to implement the greenhouse gas measure.


“This is yet another example of the Biden Administration sidestepping the Constitution to make sweeping, destructive policies without authorization,” said Attorney General Paxton. “When Biden unleashes unlawful climate mandates that hurt our country, Texas is here to stop him.”

A reminder that Ron's pal Chip Roy wanted to get rid of Ken because the Bush regime told him to

Good... Other AG's need to pile on and there are a whole host of other regulations that have been/are being promulgated that go well beyond Congressional Authorization...

Past time to reel the alphabet agencies in...

Paxton is the best AG in the country. It's a shame none of the other AGs have the balls this guy has.

The next step in the unwinding is that the legal apparatus in the blue and red states will begin attacking the federal government and each other in a form of lawfare until you begin to see some states outright ignore federal oversight.

All of this will put an unbearable strain on the SC as they attempt to find answers to an unsolvable situation, that being two sides with diametrically opposed agendas trying to operate under the same legal structure in what amounts to a zero sum game.

The only outcomes to this are the domination of one side of the other via various means of coercion, de federalization or separation.

So you get to hear conversations between Roy and Bush people?

Face it, you have no facts.

If you have actually heard these conservations that would be impressive FWIW.

Rational people realize this is coming and that it won't be pretty.

It is a none fact that Bush people wanted him out. It is also a known fact that Roy wanted him out. Without being in the conversation or able to hear the conversation I can tell you how the conversation went. If you were to think about the facts your should be able to also.

His orange overlord has declared he must hate one of the best governors in the nation, so he does.

In the Supreme Court case Massachusetts v. EPA (2007), the decision was split 5-4. The majority opinion, which held that the EPA has the authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, was supported by Justices Stevens(Ford(R)), Kennedy(Reagan(R)), Souter(Bush Sr.(R)), Ginsburg (Clinton (D)), and Breyer(Clinton(D)). The dissenting opinion was held by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito.


Not a lawyer and don't know know if it will come down to this, but this tells you who the real enemy is.

Had GOP presidents not picked Justices like Democrats, this thread would not exist.

Want more? Be all in for Republican nominees backed by the establishment.

Don't vote for Chip Roy dumb arse.
And if you want to go down the road of guilt by association then we can have fun with most of DJT appointments as actual POTUS.

Did you hear the "Bush people" giving Chip Roy marching orders in regards to Paxton? Yes or No?
