Excellent.
Big win for property owners vs the eco-fascist land thieves.

Thanks, you are a good man.
Thought about this a lot, does this mean that GWB`s message is getting through? Believe me, this is a 180 from where this court usually is.
This is a very big win for our side.
Woohoo!!!!
Can't tell you how happy this makes me!
Great News!
I'm referring this judicial win to a local group trying salvage the rights of land owners. The enviros have been using the lower court's decision to hurt the land owners.

I was glad to see this happen. It gives me hope that things are swinging the other way.
