Salon.com News | Florida manatee refuges at stake

Fortunately, there are still some Federal judges interested in actually enforcing the law, even if it's one the Executive Branch doesn't want to. There was an agreement in place, under court sanction, to build sixteen refuges. Fish & Wildlife set up two, then stopped due to a request by the Governor of Florida who is -- what a coincidence! -- the President's little brother. Judge Emmet Sullivan has told them to get cracking.

Here's your Federal Government at work, after being told to create the refuges:

Chuck Underwood, a Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman in Jacksonville, Fla., said once a plan is issued in November -- one month earlier than the government planned -- it would take six months to actually create more refuges. But the agency will not necessarily agree to create all 14, he said.

"We may do all of them or only some of them," Underwood said.

Un-flipping-believable.
