Despite the Biden White House’s claims, the new standards are not about energy efficiency.

A conservative think tank has filed a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Department of Energy’s new energy-efficiency requirements for household clothes washers and dishwashers, arguing the Biden administration lacked authority to adopt the regulations.

The Competitive Enterprise Institute on Thursday filed a lawsuit, opens new tab on behalf of two consumers in federal court in Amarillo, Texas, a venue popular among conservative litigants whose sole judge is an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump.

That judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk, was the same one who last year suspended approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously reversed the lower-court rulings that would have restricted access to the pill.

As Reuters points out, the new rules will put water usage caps on both types of appliances and the administration pressed ahead with these standards despite an appellate court striking down similar regulations down earlier this year. This is only about Biden appeasing his base due to his shaky re-election chances in November and it is one of many times he has ignored federal court rulings.

The Left believes only what advances their agenda is true since they are constantly on a quest for achieve and maintain political power. If it means ignoring the law and even lying they will do it because Leftists believe they are the ones better able to run people’s lives.

Good luck, CEI!
