In their haste to impose ever-more onerous regulations here in the Land of the Free, Obama's legions of bureaucrats just seem to keep stepping into it. As mentioned here previously, the recent smackdown by U.S. District Judge Oliver W. Wanger in Fresno, California of scientists from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is unprecedented:
The judge called one [scientist] a “zealot” who didn’t let facts get in the way of her goals and the other an“untrustworthy” witness.
Now the EPA's in even more hot water:
In response to a report that could lead to questions about the credibility of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) , Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe, ranking member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, is calling for hearings to investigate. The report — from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the EPA — reveals that the scientific basis, on which the administration’s endangerment finding for greenhouse gases hinged, violated the EPA’s own peer review procedure.
When your own Inspector General issues such a report, you've got trouble.
