aw jeez, really?

Snowmobile ruling

"In the District of Columbia court ruling, Sullivan wrote that the rationale offered for the policy change was "weak at best" and said that 'the decision to overturn the ban was completely politically driven and result oriented.'"

Why did the Bushies even do this? Distract voters from the other unscientific environmental decisions of this administration?

"Nevertheless, public opinion has run overwhelmingly in favor of a ban in three separate public comment periods during the past two years. The most recent comments sought by the park service this fall showed people in support of a total snowmobile ban by a 99-1 margin."
