They never, ever, ever give up

Here’s a “hit head on desk” moment for you!

While their Senate colleagues were engaged in a fiery debate over the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline, the House on Tuesday quietly passed a bill that environmentalists say would hamper the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to use the best scientific information when crafting regulations to protect public health and the environment.

The House voted 229-191 to pass H.R. 1422, which would change the rules for appointing members to the Science Advisory Board (SAB), a group that gives scientific advice to the EPA Administrator. Also called the Science Advisory Board Reform Act, the bill would make it easier for scientists with financial ties to corporations to serve on the SAB, prohibit independent scientists from talking about their own research on the board, and make it more difficult for scientists who have applied for grants from the EPA to join the board.

One thought on “They never, ever, ever give up

  1. If it gets through the senate would O’Failure veto it? Then they’ll just pass it again in 2015 and 2016 or until they get their favorite retarded republicrat in the white house.

    They never give up and the dems never fight back.
