Get ready for unilateral Obama climate change regs

Now that the Environmental Protection Agency has sounded the climate change alarm formally, legally and technically, get ready for the president to use his authority to impose, through the EPA, strong regulations. Good. He should. Whatever the law allows.

Obviously, the EPA action was a lead-in to the Copenhagen summit, and the president intends to take advantage of executive authority, either before or shortly after the meetings in Denmark. Don't I recall President George W. Bush using executive authority aggressively where he had far less legal authority than Obama does on climate change after the EPA finding?

The smart move would be for the "party of no" to make a deal where Obama withholds using regs, and in return, Republicans agree to new bipartisan legislation. They almost certainly will not, so get ready for the Obama regs that Congress will never prevent or overturn.
