I wonder if the Forest Sevice was also included in this suit? If so their (the so called Center for Bio Diversity) legal expenses, at least in part will probably be paid for by you and me. This is the part that of the law that needs to be changed.
These environmental lawsuits are just part of a lawyer employment act.

Are you saying they get lawyers fees even if they LOSE??? I was unaware of that. I'm not too terribly impressed with the awards of attorneys fees for winning cases, but this would be an outrage if true.

In this case the cattleman sued the enviro-weenie group for libel. There was no Forest Service or other government agency involved. The 'Center for Bio Diversity' is an NGO (Non-Government Organization).
