Check out the EPA's incoherent bullshit response.from ThinkProgress:
EPA defies subpoena to turn over documents.»In a remarkable show of contempt, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has flatly refused a House Global Warming Committee subpoena. The subpoena for documents relating to the EPA’s refusal to obey the Supreme Court mandate to regulate greenhouse gases was issued by a unanimous, bipartisan vote on April 2, a year after the Supreme Court decision. On April 11, the EPA requested and received an extension to respond, but today the agency has decided not to turn over the documents:
As we noted in our April 11, 2008 letter, EPA has grave concerns relating to the committee's subpoena. In particular, we are concerned that the release of the deliberative, pre-decisional documents that do not reflect the Agency's final thinking would be injurious to important Executive Branch institutional prerogatives: such release may have a chilling effect on further deliberations in this and other matters; it may create erroneous impressions of the Agency's thinking; and it may raise questions about the Agency having reacted in response to, or having been influenced by, proceedings in a legislative or public forum outside the established administrative process.
