Radical Noesis - Thinking outside the box

Organic Matter has some pretty good info, including a link to this from People For The American Way:

Judge Roberts issued a troubling dissent from the decision by the full D.C. Circuit not to reconsider the important ruling by the three-judge panel in this case upholding the constitutionality of the Endangered Species Act as applied in this matter. [...]

Roberts’s dissent in Rancho Viejo strongly suggested that he thought it would be unconstitutional to apply the Endangered Species Act in this case. By his vote to rehear the case and thus potentially reverse the district court, Roberts indicated that he may well be ready to join the ranks of such right-wing officials as Judge Michael Luttig (who dissented in Gibbs) and Alabama Attorney General William Pryor — nominated by President Bush to the Eleventh Circuit and unilaterally placed on that court by the President through a recess appointment — in their efforts to severely limit the authority of Congress to protect environmental quality as well as the rights and interests of ordinary Americans.

Bush Green Watch has some good info on the Supreme Court's ability to harm the environment in general.

More on Roberts' hostility towards the Endangered Species Act.

GristMill, of course, has the scoop.
