Good post. Thanks for the info. Sad, because unnecessary as well, even in the topsy turvy world of incomptetent, cowardly, rigid liberals. There is enough to distinguish the case from the Gulf situation for the EPA to say go ahead and skim. Truly a world gone mad.
Now Obama has folks in the Justice Department with expertise in environmental law but who have been advocating on behalf of some of the litigants in this case ~ and over at EPA, the general counsel there is undoubtedly filled to the brim now with MANAGERS who worked for the environmental activists who brought the suit.
I think there's enough in this to BRING DOWN THE ENTIRE OBAMA REGIME.
They are hemmed in by their own regulations, their own interpretations of those regulations, and their very own lawsuits from their days outside the government.
There's probably not an environmental legal specialist in the government whose hands are clean enough to even pursue an appeal of this monstrous piece of law, and the Democrats are incapable of passing enabling legislation to let the clean up proceed.
Can you imagine that stumbling idiot Eric Holder dealing with this one?
And Obama, I told you he was into this for the parties ~ nobody told him he'd ever have to do any real work.
