Glen Pearson writes that the United States appears to be headed for another civil war: American political analyst Michael Podhorzer laid out a frightening scenario last week in a newsletter penned for activists. He suggests that the time might have arrived when the United States is not one country but two nations that happen to share the same geography. “When we think about the United States, we make the essential error of imagining it as a single nation, a marbled mix of Red and Blue people.

West Virginia, vs. EPA could upend executive agenciesFox News: ... West Virginia vs. the EPA asks whether important policies that impact the lives of all Americans should be made by unelected D.C. bureaucrats or by Congress. This SCOTUS could well decide that ruling by executive agency fiat is no longer acceptable. The case involves the Clean Power Plan, which was adopted under President Barack Obama to fight climate change; the program was estimated to cost as much as $33 billion per year and would have completely reordered our nation’s power grid. The state of West Virginia, joined by two coal companies and others, sued the EPA... read more
