So I can use Courier now, what a pleasure. Like I mentioned yesterday after upgrading, this is neat stuff. So, shall I get down to business?

There is a challenge at the Supreme Court about the federal government's right to control enviromental issues, specifically those of the air. If this challenge goes through, and the Court aims towards state's rights, what then?
Firstly, what happens if say-Wyoming-has less strict laws than. . . South Dakota. The air from Wyoming would blow into South Dakota, and South Dakota will have to deal with Wyoming's air problems. So then in Washington DC we will have the issue of dueling senators and representatives all over again. That's what happened the last time States rights had a major victory. People had their heads smashed with canes, and a bunch of states decided they had the RIGHT to secede from the Union. Now, I have no wish to pick old scabs, but there is logic behind federal enviromental legislation. No one state is in it all alone, we are UNITED states of America, not a bunch of bickering Colonies. That was left behind with the Articles of Confederation.
