AG Says EPA Bill Unconstitutional

You probably read that delusional members of the House Resources Committee approved a bill calling for the abolishment of the EPA. Here’s part of Betsy Russell’s Eye on Boise report re: the attorney general’s opinion:

In the attorney general’s opinion, Deputy Attorney General Brian Kane wrote that the bill “would, with almost certainty, be found unconstitutional.” In a six-page analysis, Kane wrote that many mistakenly believe the EPA was “created by executive order” rather than by Congress. Actually, he wrote, it was created by President Richard Nixon in 1970 under a specific clause in federal law, and then, as required, ratified by both houses of Congress - twice. Congress then delegated regulatory authority to the EPA through “numerous federal laws,” he wrote, and those laws have been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Shepherd said, “I think that the Supreme Court needs to go by their oath of office. The Supreme Court’s changing the Constitution.” More here.

Question: How many of our Kootenai County legislators would vote for this unconstitutional bill?
