In September, Kohl, a Democrat, was one of 41 senators who signed a bipartisan letter calling on the EPA to soften the proposed rules it issued in April – before issuing final rules in January 2011, the deadline ordered in the case brought by the Sierra Club.

By the way, in the spirit of Democrat comity:

F*&^ the Sierra Club!
