House Republicans, led by Rep. Richard Pombo, are intent on cramming offshore
oil drilling down our throats. The bill that they passed on Thursday to lift the
moratorium on offshore oil drilling contains some unusually coercive measures,
including an unprecedented grant of power to the Secretary of Interior over
federal aid to states. In typical fashion for this Republican Congress, the full
text of the bill was not made available in time for lawmakers to read it and
analyze it. Even some Republicans are crying foul.
