If confirmed Pruitt would be in the position of bringing a suit against an agency that he will be heading. His one goal was to do as much damage to the EPA as possible while he was attorney general of Oklahoma.

Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency will be in a tricky spot on Day One. In the five years since he became Oklahoma’s attorney general, Scott Pruitt has used his legal authority to file or join at least 13 lawsuits against the agency, fighting back on regulations of emissions and air and water quality.

If approved as head of the EPA, Pruitt will be in the conflicted position of defending — or not defending — the agency against the eight lawsuits that are still pending, including one that seeks to strike down President Obama’s Clean Power Plan rules.

Although no laws bar Pruitt’s appointment, the naming of a person in active litigation against a federal agency to lead that agency is unusual and possibly unprecedented. “I’ve been racking my brain to come up with something,” said Seth Davis, chair of the American Bar Association Section of Environment, Energy and Resources. “I’m not saying there aren’t any cases, but I have not thought of one.”

The EPA should only exist to provide base common sense guidelines and interstate disputes.

Without adjudicated harm... it's a state issue.

I disagree . . . . taking the states right argument to cover issues state by state is simply a preposterous notion . . . . . let me simply say that A River Runs Through It . . .

I'm sure you intended for that to mean something...would you like to translate?

The EPA serves a very important function. President Nixon understood the same, yet today folks do not understand the function. Our waters are much cleaner under the clean water act and the enforcement of the same by the EPA. Government serves a purpose.

A role they have grossly abused and desperately need to be reigned into reality.
