Can the Con be sued for what he's doing to the EPA? I'm sure there's standing by people

[napi21]

like those in Flint where the gov't failed to maintain clean drinking water, or some other provable action, or inaction of the Gov't.

1. Simple Answer: no.

There is no constitutional right to clean water or clean air. Policy choices are not subject to civil lawsuit.

3. But there are litigable issues about how and why this was done.

The Administrative Procedures Act requires certain procedures to repeal rules as well as create them.

7. In 2009, the Supreme Court found that the EPA is required to regulate greenhouse gases

due to greenhouse gases being a public health threat. Pruitt is actually getting backlash from some on the right for not trying to overturn the endangerment finding because Pruitt thinks it would be legally difficult to do.

2. On Rachel Maddow's show she said this EO will be in litigation

for a long time.

4. just as Obama's original EO was, to the point that it was NEVER fully implemented

wonder how long it'll take

5. I'm fairly certain there are laws.

6. Yes
