Another court victory for Obama

A three judge panel for the D. C. Circuit federal appeals court has handed the Obama administration a victory on climate change.   A group of 27 states had sued to block the Clean Power Plan, which would reduce carbon emissions from power plants.

The case still has to be litigated before the appeals court, but this panel rejected a request from the 27 states, thus denying their request to stop the rule from going into effect until the case is decided.  This is a favorable harbinger of the eventual outcome.
