Posted by Jonathan Adler: Did Politics Override Science on Phthalates? http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_03_29-2009_04_04.shtml#1238634869
This morning NPR ran an [1]interesting story suggesting Congress disregarded the relevant science when it passed a ban on certain phthalates in children's toys. The measure may have been backed by Democrats, such as Senators [2]Feinstein and [3]Boxer, but it was signed by President Bush. More evidence of a [4]Republican "War on Science."
