President Obama must have one seriously smoking pen. The nonprofit group, Earthjustice, reports that another of former President George W. Bush's last-minute efforts to circumvent the legal system has been blocked. The northern gray wolves have won a reprieve from being stripped of their protected status under the Endangered Species Act until the Obama administration can review the ruling that would have left them open to immediate delisting.
According to Earthjustice: "Under the Emanuel memo, the wolf delisting rule will be withdrawn. This rule was extremely controversial and was rushed through even though a federal district court had declared the wolf delisting illegal in July. It defied the law which prohibits a state by state listing when the wolves do not respect state boundaries."
Thank you, Mr. President, for halting this in time to take reasonable, legal action in the light of day where everyone can see what action is being taken.
