This decision is merely a pheric(sp) victory! Even though its the SCOTUS and unanimous, they've only won a very limited battle and come no where near winning the infernal war!!!
This in no way is a phyrric victory, this is a real win.
This means that the EPA must defend and justify it’s actions in a court of law. It cannot just use a club to intimidate and selectively enforce it’s pet projects.
My trophy wife, who is usually quiet about these events, said that she hoped the couple, whose rights had been violated, successfully sue the individuals, who harrassed them, in civil court.
A friend of ours came over to our side about a decade ago. He had a small business complex south of town with a seasonal creek that sometimes over flowed into the parking lot for customers and renters and their employees.
His enviro sin was to put the round hay strands between the seasonal creek and his parking lot to divert the seasonal flooding from his parking lot.
The enviro terrorists got involved and claimed that he was violating the laws of nature and was keeping the red legged frog from breeding.
On my advise, he got a conservative lawyer who recommended some middle of the road eco experts to survey his land and parking lot, and the seasonal creek for Red Legged frogs and any signs that they had been there. These experts never found a single living/dead, bones or fossil signs of a red legged frog.
The lawyer bastards for the enviral terrorists claimed that his land looked like something the Red Legged Frog would like copulate on, have tad poles and live/thrive on, even though there was no proof of their theory.. He was fined and told to never use the hay diversion system anymore. They allowed him to keep his parking lot which became a wading pool after each fall/winter/rain.
Our friend at that time realized that the eco terrorists hated anyone who dared to build, farm, ranch or do anything on the dirt.
Our friend and his wife were from Green Vomit Oregone, and all of their relatives/friends still in Oregone were eco terrorists.
He had figured out that I had something to do with the anti enviro sign a group of freepers/we had put on I 5 north of Medford due to the bumper sticker I had on my OJ Simpson gas guzzler. At that time he thought that I was terrible and a possible terrorist. That changed when his ‘ox’ was gored by the Eco Terrorists.
