EPA makes regulations which (appeared to) have the force of law... which is something that only Congress is allowed to do.
Much like the hullabaloo about Roe v Wade, when are people going to learn that laws are created by the legislative branch, not by executive order or judicial ruling. Doing it by the backdoor is flimsy. It's like everybody slept through their class in government, including the politician leaders who act shocked when these things get overwritten.
Same for all the bitching about the filibuster, electoral college, etc. There is a process for making changes to the law if you don't like it. Follow it and otherwise STFU.

That's something of an understatement. Essentially the problem here is that the EPA makes regulations which (appeared to) have the force of law... which is something that only Congress is allowed to do.
A whole bunch of agencies have been going mad with power in the last century, and this opens the door for giving all of them a good smack.
Ultimately though I am sure they'll just bundle up the list of rules they've invented and shove them into Congress for a quick rubber-stamp. But at least we can weed out the regs that violate Congress' overly broad authority to regulate 'Inter-state Commerce'
