If you graduated High School, then whoever taught you how government works sure did a shitty job. Congress sets EPA policy, not the President.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 3:54 pmThe judicial branch has no power over the EPA. The executive branch sets policy.
Perhaps you should read the EPA's own "Basics of the Regulatory Process" as a starting point in educating yourself.

I'll simplify it for you in case you don't understand it.
Step 1 - Congress writes a bill.
Step 2 - The President signs the bill into law
Step 3 - The EPA, through the powers given to it by Congress, writes regulations to flesh out the details of the bill described in Steps 1 and 2 above.
When the EPA writes regulations outside the bounds of what is authorized in the law they're trying to flesh out, the Supreme Court can strike down said regulations, as was the case here. In this case, the EPA wrote regulations outside the bounds of what was authorized in the Clean Air Act, and those regulations got struck down.
This really isn't all that complicated.
