I understand that there are administrative law courts at every level of government to deal with just these situations. but enforcement actions, if any, are rarely reported. The impression is that government employees can break the law with near impunity.

Laws without enforcement provisions, particularly criminal penalties, are worse than useless. People can act illegally without repercussion, and the climate of lawlessness contributes to a climate of contempt for the laws and society.

The EPA broke the law? Go figgur! Who Wudda thunk it? The knuckle draggers must be outraged and marching on Washington at this moment!

What are the odds that the General acceptability Office will find anyone who is accountable?
I’m sure at the very least the head of the EPA will announce new procedures and rules to prevent such a thing from happening again. I await CNN prime time expose’.
