Better than the Sierra Club I guess. They merely, in the words of former President of the Audubon Society, Peter Berle, who was speaking for the group, "reject the idea of property rights."

Nominating somebody who is actively in the process of suing the EPA is a conflict of interest, to say the least. I'm fully aware that's his appeal to conservatives.
I'm concerned on a personal level given I have a close family member who works for this agency."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard RavenhillComment

I'm trying to understand your logic. You're... trying to claim that the guy does not have a conflict of interest, because he'll use his new powers to get rid of all the stuff he was suing against?Originally posted by One Bad Pig View Post
How is that not a conflict of interest?
It sounds to me like you're saying "Don't worry his conflict of interest will remove any future conflict of interests."Comment

This is not especially unusual when administrations change hands, causing changes in the direction of policy. It will not be a conflict of interest because there will no longer be any conflict.Originally posted by Leonhard View PostEnter the Church and wash away your sins.

Then is there ever reason to cry out about 'conflict of interest'?Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostComment

Sure. If a lawyer is involved in a case, and becomes a judge, he cannot decide that case due to conflict of interest.Originally posted by Leonhard View PostEnter the Church and wash away your sins.

"As Pruitt testified before Congress, it is the legal duty of the EPA to tackle the carbon pollution that fuels the climate crisis," Sierra Club's executive director, Michael Brune, said in a statement. "Pruitt is endangering our families, and any sensible senator should demand he be removed from his position immediately for misleading Congress and being unfit and unwilling to do the job he has been entrusted to do."
David Doniger, director of the climate and clean air program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said he considered the situation bizarre. "After obscuring his true views during his Senate confirmation hearings, Scott Pruitt has outed himself as a pure climate denier," Doniger said. "Having an EPA administrator who claims carbon pollution is not the primary cause of climate change is like having a U.S. surgeon general who says smoking is not the primary cause of lung cancer.''“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell
