The US Supreme Court does make law when it interprets the Constitution. That's what common law is. It is rare that SCOTUS reverses itself, but it does happen: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brow...d_of_Education
That was 1990. the EPA, like most govt agencies have expanded GREATLY since then and are doing things way beyond what that 1990 objective was and MUCH bigger then when they statred in 1970
In 1970 they had 4,084 employees, with a budget of $1,003,984,000
In 2016 they had 15,376 employees with a budget of $8,139,887,000
Unbolding your stressed part of that comment and bolding another part.
Do you see the word WILL rather than "would likely'?
Trump's EPA nominee is against the clean water and clean air acts. He's been involved in many lawsuits to attempt to allow for more pollution. He's against the existence of the EPA. I think it's safe to say that unless Congress or the courts stop him, Trump and his nominee will do what Trump's team member there said.
Two things, I believe Trump understands that we need to protect our environment. I also believe, based on his success in business, he understand resource needs. With that said, cut onerous regulations and the bodies that were needed to enforce them AS LONG AS we continue reasonable regulations that protect our environment.
Call me crazy, but I wouldn't trust someone who builds hotels to tell me how many regulations we need or don't need to protect the environment.
"Federal employment has not grown but shrunk under Obama."
How many contractors have been added?
I worked for Uncle Sam and went through this with Clinton.
His admin boasted about how they had "shrunk" gov't employment when in actuality all the did was change many managers to "Team Leader" and hired contractors.

"Trump's EPA nominee is against the clean water and clean air acts."
That is a GROSS exaggeration.
He is FOR clean air and water.
He is AGAINST the far reaching regulations that the EPA has ADDED since its inception.
Yours is the typical dem attack.
Whenever the repubs want change things in the their mibs fir the better, the left goes bonkers with wild accusations and exaggeration.
just like when the repubs were tryi g to make some changes a few years ago and the dms aired a TV ad showing granny in her wheelchair being pushed over the cliff, claiming the repubs did not care for the elderly.
Candidates during elections say all sorts of things.
Do you want me to start posting all the things Obama, Hillary and all the other dems have said during a campaign.
like I said, I AM for abolishing the EPA.
Take the NEEDED programs and put them under another agency.
