Fireworks won’t fly at Mount Rushmore July 4 weekend despite a lawsuit against the Biden administration from Kristi Noem, the Republican governor of South Dakota.
Judge Roberto A. Lange called the idea of an Independence Day celebration at the iconic national monument “appealing.”
“However this Court is not called upon to determine whether such a fireworks display is a good idea,” he said in his 36-page ruling, posted on yourbasin.com.
Lange said the country could “use a good celebration of its foundational principles of democracy, liberty, and equal protection of the law” after the COVID-19 pandemic, the Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol and the political divide in the country.
He noted in his ruling the “outcome” of the case might be included in the politicization of issues in the nation.
Noem promised to appeal the decision.

The Governor went to court but the court sided with Biden admin.
Fireworks cause global warming, and are disrespectful to other cultures, namely America haters and communists.
What is the justification for opposing the fireworks?? Aside from the obvious hatred for our freedom and independence...
So the federal government can sue a state over fireworks, but a state can’t sue the federal government over ELECTION INTEGRITY?
I want off this planet. This is bizarro world.
Some judge banning fireworks on the 4th.
That's freedom.
They ought to move the event to the Crazy Horse monument, which is on private land.
“...Lange said the country could “use a good celebration of its foundational principles of democracy, liberty, and equal protection of the law...”
“Nevertheless, on orders from HQ I’m denying the petition.”
Just hold the celebration WITHOUT permission, Governor. Force them to show their true colors by having to (try to) punish you.
And doxx the bureaucrat who gave the orders to not permit it; he should have a peaceful protest at his home.
It isn’t bizarro.
It’s an oligarchy.
The republic is dead.
We might as well say so.
Followed by a nice bonfire.
The same as all tyrannical orders for the past year and a half, the Chinese bio-weapons attack. Somebody might catch the Wuhan Flu.
Run by Judges ,BLAH
A totalitarian oligarchy.
The terrain around crazy horse is a lot better tHan Mt Rushmore.
If there was a fire it would be easier for the fire truck to get to it quickly.
It’s pretty rugged behind Mt.Rushmore but the volksmarch trails at crazy horse allow passage for vehicles
Wow, glad to see Kristi stand up for what’s important like fireworks. /s
There will probably be a Freeper section.
We should do them anyway
What is the justification for opposing the fireworks??
Creepy looking.
.
Yes, yes and yes again.
Governor Noem should drive a whole team out there, take over the monument for the fireworks display, putting the whole thing on livestream on the internet, then have it cleaned perfectly and turn back over the next day.
Make them come and arrest her. The amount of support she would receive would scare the living double hockey sticks out of any Democrat with a brain and they will back off.
They might vocally scream against her, but they would not dare touch her. And then she could kick off her VP or Presidential campaign with a bang not a whimper.
