> If directed by high enough up they might accept the now-disputed EPA rules Since we're talking about the military, it's less legally complicated than it might be with some other agencies: the president could make that happen with a phone call, there's not really any "might" about it. One assumes he either doesn't know or care what's going on, or (more interestingly, and I think more likely) the OLC has reasons for wanting things to go the way they're going.
