The system worked exactly as it was intended.
The idea that "it's too late" implies that this represents a change of some sort. It isn't. It won't be long before the likes of Red Emerson get to cash in bigger than ever. Nothing has changed, especially as regards the Ninth Circ-It.
Isn't fascism fun?
The idea that the militant EnvironMental movement is owned and controlled by bogeymen alone and not shared by an army of activists and activist attorneys with Commonism on their pithy minds, is still a stretch for me.
However, I must admit that although I'm not a strong believer in water-tight conspiracy theories, I do recognize massive orchestration when I see it!!!
I just don't like the idea of letting all the activists and the activist attorneys off the hook by blaming behind the scenes mysterious bogeymen that even control the courts.
I don't think I ever said that it was "owned" any more than the Rockefellers "own" Exxon/Mobil (now there's a hint), but they certainly do control it for the most part.
Just because useful idiots have "free will" doesn't mean they aren't willfully duped at gunpoint by a police state that controls what they think and see from they day they enter COMPULSORY public education.

It's not in the least bit mysterious. The judges are brainwashed stooges too.
We still have two mills left, but they are both plywood veneer mills that take logs under 28 inches. (They unroll them like a paper towel.) Neither is SP. There is no local mill for big trees. They have to be taken all the way up to Roseburg Oregon and, now that the Railroad is closing its line down because it can’t make enough profit, that is questionable. So when the enviros scream about taking big trees from old growth forests, it ain’t happening here.
There is a huge divide for the environmental requirements and costs placed on California timber operators and Oregon ones. It is MUCH easier to harvest and mill in Oregon.
I was out at the dimensional mill in eastern Shasta County (Fall River Mills?)in early spring. They used to be able to harvest from a radius 40-50 miles out. Now that radius is shrinking because of fuel costs. I have even heard that some operations are shipping in Canadian dimensional wood and chipping it for the biomass market. That’s how glutted the market was because of the lack of housing starts.
Do you know if the mill in Medford is still operating?
Which was the enviro-commie's intent to begin with. TO DESTROY THE LUMBER/WOOD PROUDCTS INDUSTRY, any lie, any trick to destroy the industry in the hopes that it could never be repaired.
Now let's see if there are any consequences for the watermelon enviro-commies.
I suppose they still have that mounted museum specimen to get Lynx hair to plant.
That's "not a proper role for a federal appellate court," they wrote.
Perhaps Judge Jones, he of Dover, Pa fame and the SCOTUS, who in their infinite scientific wisdom declared CO2 a pollutant, should take notice.
I have no doubt, but it is a little surprising given their Oregone Ducks athletic teams are known as the "GREEN GANG!" (which caused me, in a fit of boredom while driving on I-5 and seeing that sign, to turn that around into "GANG-GREEN!")
Even Oregone's gasoline has not been fouled by M.T.B.E. nor does it have as much wood alcohol content as our inefficient gasoline!!!
I always thought Oregone's youth were more indoctrinated to be leftist "Activists & Advocates" than CA's youth, but I guess I'm wrong...
Clearcutting is rape.
Until the loggers can keep the dirt on the hill and not send giga-tons into the river, I’ll agree with the green weenies on this one.
How many rivers must die until they learn to cut every THIRD tree?
Save the salmon & steelhead!
Did you read the article?
Looks like the Ninth Circus has pulled up stakes, and cleared out of dodge!
This is truly a cause for celebration.
Ten years of devastating forest fires seem to have finally driven the point home that logic was unable to. This year has been as bad as 2000 for fires.
They're looking straight down the barrel of the USSC's second ammendment ruling?
LOL< now that’s an angle I hadn’t considered.
You guess correctly. Replanting is required by law and by contract, duh! Because timber companies absolutely want to put themselves out of business by running out of a renewable rescource.
It's this kind of basic ignorance that the envirals count on to get public support for their anti-business, anti-growth, anti-life activities.
Yes, an extremely bad year for fires. They’re the norm in So CA though usually later in the year but look at the hundreds of fires started in No CA this last week by lightning and many are burning in timber.
Had a decent forest management plan been allowed to be applied I’m sure less of them would still be burning.
Clear cutting hasn't been done for forty years. Selective harvest has been the rule, rather than the exception. Replanting is in most cases unnecessary. All of our forests are seriously over-grown. There is no shortage of seedlings on the forest floor; most contracts involve thinning the existing stock of seedlings for a healthier forest.
