Oh, How We Need Bush to Leave Office
Greenhouse, greenhouse, greenhouse. Gases, gases gases. The loveliness just keeps rolling in. I voted for Ah-nold. I am mostly a democrat, something of a libertarian, but I voted for Schwartzenegger and I’m proud because the man has held up his end of the deal, at least where it comes to environmental policy. The Bush administration, et al, is just tearing the last of the flesh from the decimated environmental laws with this new federal proposal. This morning’s paper illustrated the underhanded pro-oil, pro-car manufacturers stance of the Bush jackasses:
Tucked deep into a 417-page “Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” was language by the Transportation Department stating that more stringent limits on tailpipe emissions embraced by California and 17 other states are “an obstacle to the accomplishment” of the new federal standards and are “expressly and impliedly preempted” by federal law.
California is already suing the federal government (EPA) for the right to implement tougher emission standards. Hello conservative Republicans?? Get on this guy! Remember the Tenth Amendment?
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
California has led the way on environmental legislation for decades. The Bush Administration continues to the desperate end in their pursuit of extraordinary federal and executive control. Guess what Bushies?? The country belongs to the people. And California belongs to its forward thinking residents.
