The White House shouldn't expect the furor over Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality Van Jones to go away just because he's resigned, says a former Obama Administration transition team member, because "the same problems that they created with Jones's hiring are there for others and they don't seem to care about the political damage these people may inflict."

While most changes to the CFRs are preceded by the solicitation of comments from "the field", there is no requirement to do so, I believe.

Get ready. Lord Zero's gonna jam it down our throats. Cap and trade. Public options. National health care. Fairness doctrine. The list is endless.
