you have a Bush admin that when Enron was drowning and wanted help, Bush admin did the ethical thing - nothing.

So you say. But

"When India threatened to abrogate energy contracts with Enron (deals that forced that country to pay outrageous prices for electricity), top officials in the Bush Administration insisted that the contracts be honored. Conracts that are as disadvantageous to a country as the Enron contracts were to India naturally raise suspicions of corruption." from "Odious Rulers, Odious Debts", Joseph Stiglitz, Atlantic Monthly, November 2003.

In other words India wanted to do what McClintock proposed to do in California. Did the Bush Admin. do the "ethical thing" here?

wow, insisting that contracts be honored ... what a scandal. NOT! LOL!

As for Cali, ask the FERC about that.
They too think legal contracts should be honored.
