The EPA Case

I caught a few news reports this morning about the recent Supreme Court Global Warming decision. Talking heads were throwing around slogans like "a definitive indictment of Bush Administration policies." It was a 5-4 split decision. That's definitive? The final written decision might be strongly worded, but I'd hardly call a 5-4 split definitive.

It is probably the correct decision though. Why? A quick read of the Clean Air Act reveals that definitions for terms like "pollutant" are so broad that they could mean anything.
