Just several hours soon after the Supreme Court issued its ruling denying Michigan’s movement for a preliminary injunction to consider speedy motion to guard the Fantastic Lakes from Asian carp,Office Home And Business 2010 Key, the federal authorities acknowledged that Asian carp DNA has now been identified in Lake Michigan.  In a letter to the Supreme Court,Office 2010 Pro Key, the Solicitor General stated that positive samples of Asian carp DNA have been located in the Calumet River and Calumet Harbor, past the Army Corps’ electric barrier which is supposed to be keeping the Asian carp out of the Wonderful Lakes.

So with the Supreme Court refusing to order emergency measures through a preliminary injunction,Windows 7 License, and the feds admitting that more Asian carp DNA has already been located past the electric barriers, what’s next?  On the legal front, Illinois and the United States must file briefs responding to Michigan’s petition to reopen the Wisconsin v. Illinois case by February 19, and a decision by the Court could then come soon soon after.  On the political front, the chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality Nancy Sutley has responded to calls by Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm and Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle for the summit meeting, now planned for the first week of February.  But as Gary Wilson points out on the Excellent Lakes Town Hall website, the key White House player on this issue should be Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel,Office 2010 Pro Key, who until last year was a Chicago congressman representing a lakefront district.  If Emmanuel is at the meeting, it’s a good sign that the White House is taking real leadership on this issue and is ready to direct all of the federal agencies (including the Army Corps of Engineers) to solve this problem.

Finally, here are some highlights of the media coverage this week, focusing on the Supreme Court’s order denying the preliminary injunction and the feds’ admission of more Asian carp DNA past the electric barriers:
