The Biden Administration hoped to enact authority to regulate emissions from power plants they say is instilled to them in the Environmental Protection Plan; however, the United States Supreme Court disagreed and ruled in favor of the State of West Virginia, who sued over the Bill. In response, Kansas Attorney General, Derek Schmidt, released a statement saying the Biden Administration was stopped from implementing the Green New Deal without approval from the people’s elected representatives in Congress. Schmidt says the ruling confirms that unelected Washington Bureaucrats cannot write Federal Law to fit their preferences for energy productions and the American economy without Congressional authority.
Schmidt says the ruling is a victory for basic principles of Democratic Self-Government and may one day be seen as a turning point in the decades-long fight to regain control over the ever-expanding Federal Bureaucracy.
The State of Kansas was a party in the case filed by 24 other states.
