State's Congressional delegation sends second letter to DOE on law firm
By Daniel TrudeauNevada's Congressional delegation presented a united front in a letter sent to the U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman Tuesday asking the Dept. of Energy to recuse a contracted law firm with ties to nuclear utilities from working on projects related to the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste reserve.
U.S. Sens. Harry Reid (D-Searchlight) and John Ensign (R-Las Vegas), and U.S. Reps. Shelley Berkley (D-Las Vegas), Dean Heller (R-Carson City) and Jon Porter (R-Henderson) all signed the letter, the second the delegation sent to the DOE.
The letter said the DOE wrongfully waived potential conflicts of interests when it hired the law firm Morgan Lewis on a $47 million contract to work on licensing projects related to the Yucca reserve.
The Associated Press reported in June that the U.S. Dept. of Justice took exception to the DOE's decision to hire the firm without consulting DOJ lawyers first, a development that the Nevada delegation reinforced in its letter to Bodman.
Reid, Ensign, Berkley, Heller and Porter sent a similar letter on April 15. In the second letter, published on Ensign's website, the delegation rebuked the DOE for ignoring its first request and said it hoped Bodman would take the second correspondence, "much more seriously."
"The Justice Department’s opinion is clear and unequivocal. The Department of Energy had no authority to waive Morgan Lewis’s conflicts of interest with respect to its representation of nuclear utilities in spent nuclear fuel litigation," the letter stated.
"Permitting Morgan Lewis to continue representing the DOE on the Yucca Mountain license application would challenge the DOJ’s authority over matters that are solely under its jurisdiction. Worse, it would demonstrate to the American public that the DOE is willing to use any means necessary to build a repository at Yucca Mountain, including running roughshod over the rights of Nevadans and trampling the authority of the Department of Justice."

Propagandist looking for a way for many more beautiful loving Americans to die. In a war keep supporting a war is the real idea here right?
All the while Americans have all there rights invaded in Las Vegas because of race and sex crimes.
War is not the answer Congress Shelly Berkley neither is abuse of the Judaical system to protect religious leaders you know right?
Congress Shelly Berkley having religious leaders and supporters lawyers invading United States Passports, Governments personal records with out a court order: of Americans born Citizens to very large military families: just to harass them because they were attacked by a Jewish religious leader in a sexual assault with a conviction in that case: punish the victim any way: invade and do a race blood investigation; denying Americans the right to pray is right?
Congress Shelly Berkley do you believe in harassing, degrading and punishments for sex victims is the answer either?
Congress Shelly Berkley do you believe in a "fair civil trial" where both sides get "Federal Discovery laws depositions and discover" but not for sex victims?
Congress Shelly Berkley do you believe in the "United States Constitution" for all or just for a few?
Congress Shelly Berkley who supported the war??
Congress Shelly Berkley just because a child is half Iranian do you believe they must be persecuted by lawyers you are associated with?
Congress Shelly Berkley if a sex victim is persecuted and degraded for having a religious leaders arrested: comes close to death does that not matter in America any more?
Congress Shelly Berkley do you believe "Convictive Sex Offenders should file "Bankruptcy" for the "Sex Conviction and be Protected" by the "Trustee 13 Kathleen Leavitt" Las Vegas, from a fair civil trial?
Congress Shelly Berkley do you believe that is OK then for a "Convictive Sex Offender" protected and not sent back to civil court and the victims then are punished and must to pay defendants/lawyers close to two hundred thousands?
Hate punishments right?
Congress Shelly Berkley??
Proxies Propagandas War is not the answer?
