Meanwhile the supreme court is hearing a case that may make it impossible for the feds to regulate anything. The Koch brothers (America's oligarchs) are behind it. They are still mad about the regulations on oil drilling waste.

I'm still confused why some of the right wing people do some things. This is a good example of something I cannot make sense of. I can only guess it's in the same vein as absolute freedom, which is a core philosophy for some people, not necessarily just right wing people.
IMO, government regulations can, and often do, help the country as a whole. Absolute freedom borders on anarchy too closely for me.
