Bush Admin Broke Law Withholding Global Warming Report


Aug. 21 (Bloomberg) -- The Bush administration violated U.S. law by failing to produce a study on the impact of global warming and must issue a summary by March, a federal judge ruled.

District Judge Saundra Armstrong in Oakland, California, said the U.S. government ``unlawfully withheld action'' required under the Global Change Research Act of 1990 to update a research plan and scientific assessment of climate change.
In any other Administration there would be serious repercussions for violating the law. In the Bush Administration its noteworthy when they don't violate the law. Unfortunately Bush has the courts so thoroughly stacked with loyal Bushies that even if his underlings were taken to court they wouldn't be punished nearly as severely as needed.

Heckuva job, Dubya.
