I wish the electric companies would shut the power plants down for two or three weeks in protest. Lets see what the C-suckers have to say after that.
Judge rules....”must consider reducing coal mining as a way to fight climate change”.....
How can a single person (liberal no doubt) be given the power to decide such a thing?
What the hell is wrong with creating hundreds of acres of lakes (which will improve the environment) in a land that has but very few? For example, drive west through Wyoming as you head for Gillette and notice the huge, deep open coal mines where “lakes” will exist in the future. Enjoy your electricity? Wonder where all that electric power comes from to energize those millions of light bulbs in your homes and cities? You guessed it baby, COAL.
” Morris ruled that not considering alternatives that would result in less mining violated the National Environmental Policy Act.”
Huh?
You are right. Morris is a Stanford “red”.
“Morris will preside over the federal court in Great Falls; Watters will be in Billings.
At Wednesday’s swearing-in ceremony, the audience included all six of Morris’ fellow justices on the state Supreme Court, Gov. Steve Bullock, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Karla Gray, four other U.S. district judges and magistrates and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau.
Bullock, a Democrat, will appoint not only Morris’s successor on the state Supreme Court, but also Watters’ successor as state district judge in Billings.”
Does this judge live in a house that uses electricity?
Where does he think most of that coal gets used???
IN POWER PLANTS.
Yeah, circular reasoning is popular among activist judges, because it’s easy.
The judge is guilty of obstruction of governance
Legislating from bench. Should be removed from office one way or the other.
Judges who act like they control the universe and it's wonders belong with da fishes.

It is almost April, and I’m freezing in the south.
Unlike before, even stupid gets it when judges, FBI oligarchy, and legislative whores draw such attention to themselves and their guiding principles.
"U.S. government officials who engage in regional planning for an area of Wyoming and Montana that supplies 40 percent of the nation’s coal must consider reducing coal mining as a way to fight climate change, a judge has ruled."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
While it would probably be a good idea if the feds had some limited express constitutional authority to police the environment, please consider the following.
A previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court Justices had clarified the clear meaning of the 10th Amendment, that powers that the states have not expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds are prohibited to the feds, protecting the environment or politically correct climate change not listed among those delegated powers.
10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, regardless what FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to think about the like wise reasonably clear scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), state sovereignty-respecting justices had also clarified that the states have never expressly constitutional delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;"
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." -Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So with all due respect to the referenced judge, wherever he went to law school, the school is evidently not teaching the fed’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding states had intended for those powers to be understood.
Patriots need to work with their federal and state lawmakers to weed institutionally indoctrinated judges out of the system imo.
Then after members of Congress thank patriots and state lawmakers for helping them to do their job, patriots need to exercise their voting power to weed out career lawmakers.
Folks, we really need to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.
The 16th Amendment can disappear too.
So U.S. District Judge Brian Morris has pulled that ruling out of his, um, back pocket.
No doubt he had to consult some ‘penumbras’ to justify it.
Assumed office December 17, 2013
Appointed by: Barack Obama
>What authority does that tyrant have to say such a thing?
Authority?
Next you’ll be asking what authority grants Congress to pass a bill on XYZ, or a Prez. to write a law-creating EO, or...
The biggest circle-jerk of them all. Each corrupt branch scratching the back of the other, wink wink nudge nudge-like.
Forget it Jake, it’s GOVT.
Yeah, and he's young, too - unfortunately.
This is not in the law, and the Judge is over reaching.
Clowns like this judge need to have a clamp slapped on their pie holes to cut down on greenhouse gasses. I thought a judge was supposed to be an educated man,but no proof of that exists in too many cases these days.
