Obama Schooled on Constitution by his Former Law Professor

[Geee]

Heritage Foundation:

President Obama has defended his knowledge and commitment to the Constitution by reminding Americans he was once a constitutional law professor. When it comes to Obama’s Clean Power Plan, one of his former law professors disagrees.

 

Lawrence Tribe joins the long list of individuals, organizations, and local and state governments opposing the Clean Power Plan. Under the Clean Power Plan, the EPA is attempting to finalize regulations that would require states to meet individual targets to cut CO2 emissions, essentially eliminating the use of coal as an affordable, reliable energy source that provides nearly 40 percent of America’s electricity. Tribe, a Harvard law professor and ‘liberal legal icon,’ had not been shy about his reasons in the past and testified on them before the House Energy and Power Subcommittee yesterday.

 

There’s a long (and quite dirty) laundry list of reasons Obama’s Clean Power Plan is a bad deal for Americans, which The Heritage Foundation and many others have detailed. To name a few, the plan will have almost zero impact on global temperatures, even though the plan is billed as a global warming initiative. It guts energy diversity by eliminating coal and replacing it with natural gas, which is as foolish as staking your nest egg on one kind of investment.
