               SUPREME COURT REJECTS EXECUTIVE OVERREACH

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, yesterday we saw the Supreme Court reject 
yet another of President Obama's executive overreaches.
  The President's effort to unilaterally micromanage electrical power 
plants across the Nation, without any legal authority to do so, would 
drive up energy costs in virtually every community and nearly half a 
trillion dollars in additional costs.
  In just the last few months, Federal courts have rejected the 
President's amnesty plan, his EPA's waters of the U.S. power grab, and 
now his power plant regulation. The message of these decisions is 
clear: the President should abandon his efforts to end-run around 
Congress, which in nearly every case have been found to violate the 
law, and work with Congress, the people's House, to address the issues 
facing our Nation.
