Ideology as Law at the EPA

A congressional hearing outlines the on-going problem of "secret science" which is used by the EPA - data which is declared, but not tested or even replicable.  It's a mark of ideology replacing science, and then declared as law.
"American taxpayers foot the bill for the Environmental Protection Agency's costly regulations, and they have a right to see the underlying science. EPA bureaucrats routinely hide this public information, insolently foreshadowing President Obama's recently outed code of ethics, “I can do anything I want.” As Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, bluntly forced the issue, “Virtually every regulation proposed by the Obama administration has been justified by nontransparent data and unverifiable claims.” “Nontransparent data and unverifiable claims”? Translated from scientese, it’s like this: If you’re a good scientist, you make an exact, detailed description of how you did your study or research so anybody else can follow your description and get the same result. If you won’t tell anybody how you did it, your work is not “transparent”.
The use of unelected, but politically selected ideologs to make unlegislated legal abuses is now fully entrenched in most if not all of the US federal bureaucracies. They constitute the Leftist Army against Americans (fully armed, too). It's just a matter of time until they begin to act in concert with each other. For now, they are hammering down any nail that sticks up, on an individual basis.
