Comments on: High Court Rebukes Bush On Auto Emissions

In A 5-4 Decision, Supreme Court Decides EPA Can Regulate Greenhouse Gases From Cars

[mh4cbs1]

Will Congress please hurry up and impeach Cheney and Bush so we can throw them in JAIL and throw away the key!

LYING us into a horrific, needless War on Iraq is mass manslaughter at the least. Thats $600 BILLION that could have gone to alternative energy R&D and subsidies.

Tax the $100 BILLION (last year alone) oil industry PROFITS! In the 1970s there was a windfall profits tax. Corporations RULE this Nation.

Why do you think there is no draft? Tuition has skyrocketed? Student loans cut? connect the dots yet? We need a "volunteer" army of poor and lower middle class kids. Use them as cannon fodder for Imperial Oil Wars. They can't complain - they volunteered. The draft is what radicalized the campuses in the Vietnam era, and drove that war to a conclusion in only a decade or so.

America doesn't care, they will just drive around in their Hummers and SUVs with 'support the troops' bumper stickers. The rich will move to McMansions and spend their massive tax cuts and agree with Mr. 5-deferment Cheney that liberals don't have the 'stomach for war'.

JAIL the SOBs Cheney and Bush. Don' be a chump. Love your country? JAIL the fascist ***.

"In the horse and buggy days, "

Well the automobiles days are numbered too, the automobile evolved as a horseless carriage- 4 wheels and a seat and that's all it really is, it was not some totally different thing it was a horse carriage with a little motor at the beginning.
About all that has changed since is the motor got bigger, the frame and body much heavier, there is glass, heat, A/C, stereo system etc.

The automobile will evolve again when fewer and fewer people can afford a baseprice of $25,000 or $30,000 for 4 wheels and a seat that typically lasts 5-6 years, has to have full coverage insurance, devalues greatly the minute it's driven off the lot, and uses $5 or $10 a gallon gas.

It is astounding how much these new cars COST and yet Detroit says they LOSE money on every vehicle.

If an economy car like the Yugo was marketed and was built with QUALITY for $10,000 it has a great chance, but at $30,000 this is the cost of what a family paid for their entire HOME not that long ago!
Houses here in the midwest can be had for under $20,000, mine was under $10,000 for 2 B.R full basement and a half acre of land and I'm looking at "sale" prices on new cars like $29,995 + tax, license and destination charges and I laugh.

Detroit has people brainwashed into replacing these machines every 4-5 years to get the "latest style" and people like dumb sheep flock to the dealers and plunk down their lives for the next 5-7 years making payments, and then more to the insurance co.

So you don't believe in global warming. Everyone has the freedom in this country to believe anything they want. But isn't it high time we ended our dependency on Middle Eastern oil once and for all? The current Iranian hostage crises part II should convince you of the geopolitical benefits of curing our oil addiction problem in America. It would stop countries like Iran from imposing their political agendas on western countries and be good for the air we breath as well. Some people are so self-centered I'm surprised the human civilization has progressed to where we are today. Get my drift "didntinhale"?

Plainjean

Unfortunately the reason is money, and a total lack of morality and ethics.

Personal greed comes first.

[plainjean]

Note to didntinhale: So you don't believe there is such a thing as global warming. With this current Iranian hostage crises part two ongoing doesn't it make sense to end our dependency on Middle Eastern oil so Islamic oportunists cannot blackmale the West? I don't know what planet you live on but it sickens me to know America put a man on the moon and now we seem helpless to cure our oil addiction in this country. Wise-up! Ending our oil addiction problem would lessen the tension in the Middle East and be good for the air we all breath. Some people are so selfish and shortsighted I wonder how civilization has progressed to where we are now. It's a miracle!

This is horse and buggy meets automobile days all over again.

We are innovators in this country. Our economy is not based on dull lead-brained people who can't do anything but stamp paper all day. Our country is full of folks who can take new technology to new levels. Innovators, risk-takers, agents of positive change. Our economy will be fine.

In the horse and buggy days, there were those who refused to believe automobiles would amount to anything. Mr. Ford, they said, was nuts and his cars were an ill-thought-out trend that would die off.

You know who died off? The horse and buggy people. How did the automobile do?

We who are ready to work for a better future can just work around the scoffers, the non-believers, most will quietly join up sooner or later (when all their friends are doing it). Some will never join. Forget about them.

We who are ready to work for a better future can also impact today and make it better too. Reduction in pollution of any kind is a positive step. There is not one thing wrong in that. You do what you know is right and keep your head high!!!

Who knows, maybe one of the emissions innovators will hit on the engine that will take us to the stars.

We will never know unless we try.

Such a sad fact of life. The Republicans will screw up everything, from environment, deficit, Iraq, New Orleans, foreign relations, and let the
Democrats take over to fix them up.

Reagan piled up 4 trillion of debt. Bush added another 4 trillion. In addition, the international relationship of U.S. with the rest of the world is virtually ruined, now someone else must step in to restore it. After another party steps in and restore the strength of this nation, the Republican will take over again in the future,
and the same ruin-and-to-be-rescued cycle starts again.

And don't forget the 4 locked-step judges continue to do the the nazi (pro-big-business) damage in the supreme court for years to come. Republican will shamelessly destroy this nation for the money.

It's all been down hill now for FOUR, count them ONE, TWO, Three, Four, years to the point that our kids are LIVING with the Security Forces of Iraq attempting to keep the peace. Wow!! Now you want to talk about INCOMPETENCE!!!"

If anything you said was true I would be concerned. But the fact is YOU are living in an alternate universe controlled by this BUSH dude. I've seen similar things on Star Trek TNG. OOOWEEOOO. Did you take your meds today?

Truth is, if we wanted to put Iraq back into the stone age and claim that to be a victory, it would be done. Reference Dresden Germany during WWII when the Allies bombed that town into near non existence and killed 40,000. That was 1944.

Today it would take the equivalent of a "busy" sortie day to reduce Baghdad to rubble. We don't because WE are a benevolent nation led by like-minded leaders. Your demonizing of all that is different than your myopic view of the planet is disturbing but common. The media makes sure to spin all Iraq progress in a negative light.

The country's obsession with instant gratification and squeamishness for defense doesn't help.

Good Luck

Are you so intellectually challenged that you have to use your old posts.
Are you not capable of providing mature debate.

[adian1-2009]

Another reivindication for the people and against big business. I am enjoying it. How sweeeeet! And Roberts wanted not to rule on the matter based on mechanical technicalities --standing-- of law. Bad omen. That judge guides himself not by justice, but by considerations of a much lower level.

[onlyfacts]

I assume you are referring to the IPCC?

The IPCC has three Working Groups and a Task Force

http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/index.html

Working Group I assesses the scientific aspects of the climate system and climate change.
Working Group II assesses the vulnerability of socio-economic and natural systems to climate change, negative and positive consequences of climate change, and options for adapting to it.
Working Group III assesses options for limiting greenhouse gas emissions and otherwise mitigating climate change.
The Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories is responsible for the IPCC National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme.

So ONLY the conclusions of the scientists in WG 1 are actually related to the SCIENCE behind GW.

To put this in perspective, there are ONLY 12 scientists that were responsible for the CRUCIAL question of Attribution (i.e. how much warming is natural vs man made) while nearly as many (11) of the scientists reported on the HISTORY of climate change and 42 of the scientists simply reported on OBSERVATIONS of temperature, ice cover and sea level.

How's that? How can anyone get more of less out of this ruling than it is...well it's amazing. You fascist have got to understand that your OLD ways of attacking the messenger is old and people just aren't buying it anymore. Congress made a LAW, Sir Lies-A-Lot read the law and changed the meaning. The Supereme Court decided the dispute. That's how the Constitiution say's it's supposed to work.

[tuckerndfw]

Has the US Supreme Court ever agreed with the Bush administration?

I can't recall any case the Bush administration has decisively won. The other case involving Guantanamo detainees was not a win (regardless how the headline reads), the other case was a delaying tactic by the USSC.

Whoever (Alberto Gonzales) gave George Bush legal advice must be incompetent.

[skyk-2009]

Wow! EPA now has the right to regulate gas milage. Something that was done by another federal agency yesterday.
Posted by cbscrash07 at 07:16 PM : Apr 02, 2007

You know they have READING classes at most High Schools at night. The Court ruled that Bush MUST count the Green House Gases as Polution AND the American People have the right to Sue the Pathetic Loser for Incompetence because he won't do his job. Now how you got Congress setting Milage out of that is beyond me. LOL You aren't using one of Rove's Magic Swastika's are you? Those things are no good, just ask all the fascist who depended on them in the last election.

Hey, wait a minute!!

Its not Bush that let Auto Makers violate emissions laws.

ITS CONGRESS.

CBS, get your ducks in line!!
Posted by pwrslm at 06:46 PM : Apr 02, 2007

Oh REALLY? ROFLMAO So are you saying the Head of the EPA is appointed or elected by Congress? Everyone SHOULD know we have a director of the EPA and up until the Nazi came along everyone thought Sir Lies-A-Lot appointed that person. So tell us there Sparky exactly WHERE in Congress does the head of the EPA come from? ROFLMAO God how stupid are these fascist anyway?

[formrusmcsgt]

The only thing that the supreme court has done is to justify another fascist arm of the government. The presidents who worked to get the EPA and america in line are blamed and the presidnet who ignored everything but his libido becomes the hero.
