I have looked but have not found anywhere so far where any of the Democrats in the House or Senate who took contributions from Enron filed a protest as prescribed by law. I haven't found evidence that Ralph Nader or any other consumer rights group filed a protest. I haven't found any evidence that any advocates anywhere filed a protest. Am I still getting the picture?
So, to summarize, the DOE received a request for a waiver as was allowed in the law. The request for waiver became public knowledge. The public, anyone in the public, had the right to protest the waiver. If someone protested, there would have certainly been hearings or a court action to stop it. Tom Dashle or Sheila Jackson Lee apparently didn't try to stop it. The legal waiver went into effect as prescribed by law. I think I understand.
I really am grateful that a space communications contractor did not give money to George Bush and illegally sell technology to a nation which has threatened to incinerate Los Angeles. I'm grateful that President Bush didn't change the law so that a contributor facing an indictment for selling technology was off the hook. I'm grateful that such a lowlife traitorous scumbag who sold additional technolgy to help our enemy was not given any special treatment by President Bush. Finally, I am grateful that we have a president who is trying to build a missile shield because the scumbag who preceded him in office is responsible for the Red Chinese now being able to kill our children with their nuclear weapons.
Exactly.
