White House Refused To Open Unwelcome EPA E-Mail

Posted by timothy on from the that's-one-way-not-to-have-seen-the-rules dept.

epfreed writes "The White House lost a case in the Supreme Court about the need for the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. So the EPA made new rule. And now the NYTimes reports that the White House did not want to get these new rules from the EPA about greenhouse gases. So they did not open the email."

    Looks like I won't be opening many work emails from now on. Those emails from my bank might go unread, too. It's about time they showed some leadership!

    Awesome! So it's cool if I just leave all that important-looking IRS mail in an unopened pile by the door, right?

    I think it is like an ostrich with his head in the sand. Except the ostrich is "Dubya", and the sand that he has his head in is really his ass. Judging by these and other events, he likes the view in there.

    Are you suggesting the govt would voluntarily hold themselves to the same legal standards as the rest of us?
