While they are complaining that species aren't recovering, the new bill removes recovery as a goal at all.
The Pombo bill would allow a political appointee to determine what constitutes the best science to be used in endangered species decisions. It allows for greater political manipulation of scientific decisions.
A species on the brink of extinction isn't going to reverse after only 30 years.
If the federal agency responsible for enforcing the endangered species did its job, and actually enforced it then there would be no need for citizens to bring enforcement actions on their own. We as citizens have a duty to hold our government accountable and enforce the law when they aren't going to do it for us that is democracy in action.
