The legislative branch is also a part of the federal government, with the Dems in charge they could pass the law through Congress and it would become law.

But my point was that this administration hasn't trample on state's rights, to quite the contrary, they've allowed for such things like various state's to form their own version of Kyoto. This administration's main beef has been with Congrss which hasn't allowed the executive branch of the fed government to run the country, like is their job. Congress always gets carried away and somewhere along the lines thinks its their job to run the country.

Traveler please lets not try to kidd each other hear. This administration has for the most part not had to concern itself with a hostile Congress, we both know that. Moreover it was the Justice Department, not Congress, that decided people in California that decided an issue on the medical use of marijuana were wrong and in Oregon that decided the peoples decision on the end of life had to be quashed.

So please Traveler do not insult me with an argument that this administration headed by someone who claimed to be for states rights before the 2000 election has done nothing but uphold the concept of states rights.

With respect to Kyoto the only time the fed could get involved is if a particular state treid to sign an agreement with a foreign government on Kyoto. Even california hasn't done that, so anything else they have done is within thier rights. The CAA allows states to go beyond the restrictions imposed by the act, they just can't lessen the requirements, which frankly would be pretty ahrd to do given the current EPA rules on CO2.
