Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wants materials from the Environmental Protection Agency he claims show discussions with the White House before denying California’s request for a waiver to regulate carbon dioxide emissions of vehicles.
Well, if you’ve seen my review of “Censoring Science,” you have no doubt this happened.
You also have no doubt that, before Jan. 20, 2009, Henry Waxman isn’t getting Document 1.
First, EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson will cite executive privilege. Second, he’ll cite California’s suit over the issue. That actually has more legal bearing, but the first issue won’t hold up, and California will ask for the documents in the trial.
