ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The National Park Service improperly banned an Alaska moose hunter from using a hovercraft on a river through a national preserve, the US Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a unanimous decision.

The court limited the National Park Service’s authority to enforce laws and regulations on state-owned rivers in Alaska. Justices rejected the agency’s argument that the river was “public land” for regulatory authority and that the agency’s water rights interest gave it rule-making authority.

The outcome was a victory for moose hunter John Sturgeon of Anchorage, who had sued and lost in lower court rulings.

“We reverse the decision below and wish Sturgeon good hunting,” Justice Elena Kagan said in reading a summary of the decision.

No, it's full of fan mail from some flounder.

Kagan said this ?

Yeah ... I find it absolutely astonishing.

[Moonman62]

I think Scalia introduced her to shooting a shotgun.

In handing Sturgeon a victory, the Supreme Court said the Park Service cannot prevent him from using his hovercraft to reach the moose-hunting grounds. Writing for the majority, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan agreed the river is not public land, meaning “Sturgeon can again rev up his hovercraft in search of moose.”

But is his hovercraft full of eels?

If it is, his nipples would explode with delight, and he cannot wait until lunchtime.

I remember a bit about this case. Seemed like overreach on the part of U.S. Park service to grab power.

I guess the Supreme Court agreed.

Jeez, I had been worried about this, I mean, which among us hasn’t wanted to use a hovercraft to bag a moose.

His sister, who baited the moose with cheese, was in the shower stuning her beeber.

Not worried he might hover right over the Moose and make the Moose mad ?

Really. A moose once bit my sister...

Nice to know that the SCOTUS has its priorities figured out.

A bad day for Big Moose but a great day for Big Hovercraft.

This went to the Supreme Court?.........................
