The fact that this will distract media attention from Karl Rove is, of course, entirely coincidental.

I found this in the Grist article Courting Disaster:
Bush appointees, though relatively new to the federal bench, are already attempting to reinterpret landmark environmental decisions and change the way the statutes apply. In defiance of precedents and the public interest, the 9th Circuit's Richard R. Clifton in a dissenting opinion would have allowed a national-forest timber sale to go forward despite an environmental group's injunction to stop the sale. Meanwhile, the 5th Circuit's Edith Brown Clement and Charles Pickering (both Bush appointments) have joined in a dissenting opinion that would have allowed a commercial and residential development in Texas, despite the risk to listed endangered species living on the site.
