Will she issue an order protecting conservative journalists at CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC/AP?

Those are more rare than hen’s teeth.

This so called “judge” needs to be thrown in jail. We don’t have many trees left in Arizona thanks to the brilliant “decisions” made by ***holes just like her. These phony baloney, plastic banana, good time rock and rollers need to leave the forests and the animals to people who know what the hell they are doing. You don’t learn jack **** in “law” school!

They mis-spelled ‘imperial’...

[RacerX1128]

Why don’t these idiots just let nature take its’ course?

They mis-spelled ‘imperial’...

I was surprised they used the word imperiled over the more common use of endangered. Perhaps they are feeling more aristocratic and they played a mind trick on use of imperial

Which reminds me. The wife wants those red spotted long horn Beatles sprayed. I better wait till the rain storm passes. Dammed global warming.

evolutionists are such hypocrites.

These types of decisions SHOULD weaken Obama and the Dems, but only if the Republicans are able to capitalize on them.

...and that is a BIG if.
