Reining In The EPA
Will the Senate do it?
I think there’s a good chance. There are a lot of Democrats up for reelection next year who aren’t going to be willing to fight it. The question is whether or not the president will be willing to risk a veto. Especially if it may get overridden.

[Update a while later]
In 2010, the Democrats passed ObamaCare by a 7 vote margin. In 2011, the Republicans passed the bill to repeal ObamaCare with a 55 vote margin.
In each case, one side of the vote was bi-partisan. In both cases, the bi-partisan vote was against ObamaCare.
That’s because we had to pass the bill to find out what was in it. Though technically, I think that there was one Republican vote for ObamaCare (Cao).

Joe Citizen has an inviolable claim to other people’s money but not to his own.
How weird is that?
Only an “intellectual” could believe it.
