Schmidt hails ruling limit on EPA greenhouse gas powers
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt celebrated the Supreme Court decision that blocked parts of the EPA rules while upholding others. He led six states in challenging the regulation, calling it a victory for Kansas jobs and the rule of law, and said Congress must debate such issues.
