US Judge Won't Reopen U.S. Border to All Canada Beef
Mon March 7, 2005 10:19 AM GMT-05:00 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A federal judge has denied a request from U.S. meatpackers to open the U.S. border to all beef from Canada, dealing another blow to reopening trade that has been interrupted since May 2003, when Canada discovered its first case of mad cow disease.
"On the fourth of March there was an order denying the plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction," said the clerk's office at the U.S. District Court in Washington.
The American Meat Institute had sought a preliminary injunction against the U.S. Department of Agriculture's ban on some kinds of beef from Canada. Currently, only beef from young Canadian cattle is allowed into the United States.

Does it tweak anybody's Spidy senses that a judge is passing economic and foreign policy and not Congress?

I wonder if we could get this judge to hear some cases relating to our Southern border.

Suing U.S. ranchers bought Canadian cows
BETH GORHAM, Canadian Press 2005-03-08 02:22:38
WASHINGTON -- Members of R-CALF, the U.S. ranchers' group that sued -- on safety grounds -- to keep the border closed to Canadian cattle, bought up cheap cows in Canada after the devastating ban, the group's president acknowledged yesterday.
...
R-CALF argues that Canadian cattle are dangerous to U.S. herds and humans.
"There's nothing unique about what we're doing," said McDonnell, who noted that members of pro-trade U.S. ranching groups have also bought Canadian cattle.
"I'm not quite sure why we're the bad guys."
