Guess who thinks the EPA is "a non-governmental agency"? Scott Brown, that's who. Explaining his vote to bar the EPA from regulating carbon emissions, Brown said: To give a non-governmental agency the ability to regulate the way that they have the potential to, they can regulate churches and restaurants and drop it all the way down from the big emitters to the very smallest emitters and it’s not appropriate. And, you know, we in Congress should continue to work on this issue and have the authority to do just that. And I would encourage, certainly, the majority party to start to work on a lot of these energy issues right away. I guess that means if the EPA were a governmental agency then Brown would be cool with regulating carbon emissions? Oh, wait, the EPA is a governmental agency. We're in luck! Scott Brown can change his vote and we can get to work "on a lot of these energy issues right away."
