CARB Out Of Business?

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration’s decision to deny California the right to regulate greenhouse gases from vehicles exploded like a grenade here and in California. But it was hiding in plain sight for weeks.
The ruling was foreshadowed in White House letters, floor statements by members of Congress, public arguments from automobile industry officials and hints from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Stephen L. Johnson, the environmental administrator, announced the decision on Wednesday, the day President Bush signed the first major change in vehicle mileage standards passed by Congress in 32 years.
Mr. Johnson said the new law made the proposed California standards unnecessary.

...only for till the current administration gets kicked and a new EPA head is appointed...about 12-14 odd months from now 
or
The the courts reverses the decision (like all the courts have been doing on this issue)...but I would bet the latter to be quicker.
