But I do find it hard to believe that you think the secretary of the interior can just list things whenever they want........
Feel free to ask usark about this....tthey will tell you the same thing I said

Did you really give legal advice to someone with out knowing how the process works?
Wow. So let me help you out.
There are 4 things that the interior considers for a new rule.
(1) Whether the rule will have an annual effect of $100 million or
more on the economy or adversely affect an economic sector,
productivity, jobs, the environment, or other units of the government.
(2) Whether the rule will create inconsistencies with other Federal
agencies' actions.
(3) Whether the rule will materially affect entitlements, grants,
user fees, loan programs, or the rights and obligations of their
recipients.
(4) Whether the rule raises novel legal or policy issues.
That is the 4 rules they use to consider adding new species to the list. Notice nothing about science on that list. Not even anything about being invasive.
They have to announce the new rule. They take comments on the new rule. But they don't have to use actual science.
