All of the US Gov’t is apparently deeply involved in Legislation EXCEPT Congress.

What is wrong with this picture?

[rbg81]

What actual law was this based on?

[Sam_Damon]

This is just nucking futs, even without the judicial activism.

Powder River Coal is cheaper and has less sulfur than Appalachin Basin coal.

Our citizens do not receive education, just indoctrination.

[jeffc]

What law did the (activist masquerading as a) “judge” cite to justify his ruling?

[rktman]

Return to sender. Address unknown!

[Georgia Girl 2]

There’s one begging to be overturned.

[kiryandil]

Oh, look - a Federal judge-president has weighed in...

[alancarp]

Did the lawyer from the Government stipulate to the strawman climate change argument? There’s a whole series of arguments that would need to be proven before you ever get ‘round to “and coal mining should be reduced”.

[CMailBag]

This is an Obama Judicial Dictator.

[dead]

Ok. Considering... ... ... and, no.

[ml/nj]

Does this have something to do with the Law, or some recent issue of New York Magazine?

Adjudge doesn’t have the authority to regulate climate

[CodeToad]

No, they don’t. Judges don’t set policy.

[CodeToad]

No, they don’t. Judges don’t set policy.

“That better be appealed”

I think a blanket party in the parking lot would be more effective.

You gotta have a good set of lungs to fill them up

Lease the lands or give them back to the native Americans. Lets see the bastards stop it then.

The Powder River coal deposits are estimated to be slightly greater than 1 trillion tons.

They are being mined at a rate slightly in excess of 1 million tons per day (that’s a train consisting of 100 cars, each containing 100 tons of coal, every 15 minutes, 24 hours per day).

If it had been mined at that rate, starting at the time of Christ, it could continue to be mined for another 500 years into the future.

And that’s only a small part of the overall world coal deposits.

And all that carbon was once in the atmosphere.

[Bonemaker]

Necktie party.

Unless there are an airtight, scientific proof that any of this "climate change" claptrap is valid, the legal actions should be turned away as the frivolous behavior they represent. Do it in a "loser pays" setting. Make it hurt financially to keep pushing stupid lawsuits.
