Horowitz called the ruling “yet another blow to the EPA’s ability to tackle emerging problems like climate change.” If regulators “want to win in the future, they need to do a more careful job” and resist the urge to “push their own agendas,″ Severino said.Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley said the ruling “restores appropriate balance” to the three branches of government.
