Another Interior Dept. employees are lying ping

First off, the ALJ is not a member of the court system--they are merely bureaucrats. (In Wisconsin, state ALJ's don't even have to have a law degree in the unemployment compensation bureau.) However, I quibble only to clarify.

It has been perfectly clear for years that the FWS and all other Interior bureaucrats think the West is merely there as a scenic attraction, not as a habitat for humanity. The fact that they will lie, cheat, and steal to preserve the West from people (for God-only-knows-what in the future) is not too surprising--their Commander-in-Chief until 15 months ago was an excellent example of achievement through chicanery or worse.

Why should they do any different from the model afforded by Clinton? He made it to the Presidency, after all....
