Ca. Attorney general: Administration seeks ‘to gut the Endangered Species Act’
Edited on Tue Dec-30-08 08:30 PM by spanone
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California is suing the Bush administration to block last-minute endangered species regulations that are intended to reduce input from federal scientists.

Attorney General Jerry Brown announced Tuesday that he had filed the federal lawsuit late Monday in San Francisco.

"The Bush Administration is seeking to gut the Endangered Species Act on its way out the door," the Democrat and former California governor said in a statement. "This is an audacious attempt to circumvent a time-tested statute that for 35 years has required scientific review of proposed federal agency decisions that affect wildlife."

1. The Endangered Species Act = the Government playing 'God' & interfering with evolution
It's a fast paced world out here where only the strong survive. If a species can't evolve and adapt to the demands of life, they're going to get left behind and eventually die off. Who are *we* to play God and/or interfere with the evolutionary process?
















Oh, btw... :sarcasm: :evilgrin:
