  • Supreme Court Puts Brakes on EPA in Far-Reaching Decision - WSJ

    “This Court has established at least one firm rule: ‘We expect Congress to speak clearly’ if it wishes to assign to an executive agency decisions ‘of vast economic and political significance,’ ” Justice Gorsuch wrote in January.
