“The EPA essentially attempted to wield not just power over emissions, but power over the nature of the energy industry in the US, and to determine what sources of energy could be used and which should be phased out, based on their own views regarding climate change and greenhouse gases. But the Court found that the EPA overstepped its authority by wielding “unprecedented power over American industry.” The Court stated that “There is little reason to think Congress assigned such decisions to the Agency.” – PM, June 30, 2022

Bruen, in which the Supreme Court ruled the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding Americans to carry a firearm outside of the home.

“Noem says the lessons she learned from her Dad are still with her today, especially when he told her, “Kristi, we don’t complain about things. We fix ’em.” And it was ultimately those words that compelled her to enter politics and try to “fix” what she considered the most unfair tax that nearly bankrupted her family’s farm after her father passed, the so-called “death tax. It took me 10 years to pay off those taxes and it made me angry. So I just started showing up at meetings and I felt that if I was upset by this law, that was on the books, then I needed to do something about it,” she recalled.” – Faithwire, June 29, 2022
