27 States filed a lawsuit against the Clean Power Plan, and the Supreme Court issued a stay.

If that happens and if you're still at the EPA I want you to go to Fairfield, Texas with Congressman Bill Flores and explain to those people who've lost their jobs how you've improved their environment.

There are strong feelings on the issue because many people, and we are speaking for our constituents, believe that EPA is exceeding its legal authority under the direction of a president who is trying to impose his will on climate change…

The Clean Power Plan was like picking up the Constitution and tearing it up.
