When the USSG published, he very carefully stated that he was publishing a "scientific" report, and not promulgating a rule. Thus, according to the appellate decision in the EPA case, his finding cannot be challenged in court, no matter how fictional they are.

In phase II of this con job, local governments all over the place will cite his finding as the basis for promulgating new rules, thus accomplishing the same effect - further restrictions on smokers.

This is a planned strategy, IMHO. And the blatant dishonesty makes me ill.
