"But repealing the snake transport rule "is not the kind of bold, bipartisan solution Americans are looking for to help the economy," he said.”

This was a statement made by Representative Cummings (D-MD). What this "political speak" essentially translates to is "I am sorry to hear that this rule will bankrupt you, your family, and thousands of others (and turn them into potential felons), but most Americans are generally afraid of or don't like snakes, so therefore that is reason enough to pass the rule, and it does not matter that it is fundamentally flawed, unscientific, and goes against several of Obama's EO's. We need to pander to the ophidiophobes of America...
