The Senate has voted today to give EPA the authority to turn out the lights on America by voting no. All 41 Republicans and 6 Democrats voted yes to pass the SJ Resolution 26, but 53 Democrats voted no.

The Senate has rejected a bid (SJ Resolution 26) to stop the Obama administration from imposing regulations on greenhouse gases, giving a boost to President Obama as he pursues broader clean energy legislation, the Cap and Trade.

Senators turned back a resolution that would have rescinded the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

Supporters of the resolution, mostly Republicans, argued that the EPA had usurped the authority of Congress to set climate policy and that the EPA regulations would increase energy costs and kill jobs.

But the White House, which threatened to veto the measure, said depriving the EPA of its ability to regulate carbon and other greenhouse emissions.

If predictions are correct, energy costs are going to soar. This is not what America needs to recover its economy. This is a sad day in America.

We need to vote these people out!
America WAKE UP!

EPA TO REGULATE CO2 AS A POLLUTANT

Senate Resolution 26 Tyranny of Regulation without Legislation

The EPA has successful assigned itself the right to regulate CO2 as a pollutant, without legislative authorization. This the ultimate tyranny; regulation by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, without Congressional authorization.

Congress has the right to veto regulations from unelected bureaucrats, that power resides in the Congressional Review Act. On June 10, 2010 - they did not! 47 Yeahs to 53 nays

Senator Murkowski R-AK tried to force a vote that would close the door on the EPA's global warming regulations, but Democrats blocked his efforts.
