Sen. Rand Paul argues that Republicans should use Congressional Review Act to kill California EV waivers

Julian Zelizer : EPA granted waivers to California that will enable the state to push mass adoption of unpopular electric vehicles.

Zelizer says Republicans should stand their ground and repeal the waivers via an appropriate exercise of their powers under the Congressional Review Act .

Republicans should heed these sensible voices and not the bad-faith argument from Democrats that asserting their prerogatives will damage the legislative filibuster.

Julian Zelizer : Democrats are threatening to do what they’ll do anyway.

Zelizer says the CRA simply has nothing to do with regular legislation.

Senate Republicans shouldn’t fall victim to bad-faith procedural folderol, he says.

Repealing the California waivers is an appropriate exercise of their powers against executive misinterpretation of the Clean Air Act .
