Backdoor repeal of the Endangered Species Act
We're now witnessing a back-door repeal of the Endangered Species Act:
The Bush administration yesterday proposed a regulatory overhaul of the Endangered Species Act to allow federal agencies to decide whether protected species would be imperiled by agency projects, eliminating the independent scientific reviews that have been required for more than three decades.
If the Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill had any spine, they'd overturn this illegal end-run around Congressional authority.
I know, I know -- when pigs fly.
