“Government science” is an oxymoron like “military intelligence,” but the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is the exemplar.

The FWS is arguably the most powerful agency in the federal government because it enforces the Endangered Species Act, which in turn is arguably omnipotent because it can stop any personal or business activity dead in its tracks – not excluding military operations – if a bug or weed is harmed. It can even trump the Constitution, especially the due process and just compensation clauses.
