Another sh*t-for-brains Kalifornia judge.

I have not followed this case at all but it is hardly a surprise to see more proof that, so far as the DRC is concerned, ideology trumps both citizen's rights and any protections the constitution sought to guarantee.

This is just another blatant effort by the anti American Watermelon Green Jihadists to stop all logging in America.

If this POS acting as a judge is a card carrying enviral, he should be impeached for not recusing himself.

"Another sh*t-for-brains Kalifornia judge."

That's true but don't forget that Epic had to stir this up with their anti-busness position. Epic has already succeded in forcing Barnum Timber, Blue Lake Forest Products and Ell River Sawmills to give up and sell out and when they do the same to PL they will start on Simpson Timber and then Sierra Pacific. That will be the final chapter for the Timber Industry here in Humboldt County.

BTW...this was posted and discussed on Friday.

How do you like the Sierra club's Campaign to End Commercial Logging in National Forests?

Talk about a scorched-earth policy, literally! These idiots would rather see the forests burn to the ground than to see a logging company make a wooden nickel from commercial logging. Letting these hypocrites dictate forestry policy has been a total disaster, and their suggestion to fix the problem is to do more of the same.

SAVE OUR FORESTS!

The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28% ( now get this...) The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38%

I guess we need more protected forests from lumbering. Those loggers are a dangerous bunch.

Would it not be fun if MR.Environment Al Gore were president. Bush may be a lightweight but he at least has some common sense. When the whole country has the wonderful political alignment we have here in Cali.land where do we all move to?

Again agreeded! Last year WV suffered some of the worst flooding in our history.....we got 11 inches of rain in 4 blasted hours after days of rain were the ground was already saturated........so I guess what I am getting ready to say next surprises no one------the enviro wacko's are suing the mininging and timbering companies! They are trying to shut them all down!

Our current governor is a whimp, but I think he is going to fight the decisions some of the judges have made as results of the "studies" that were done.....of course these studies says it was all the timbering and mining fault...bs, it rained 11 inches! But once again, it proves the "War on the West" is now everywhere!

Welcome back! Good to see you on line again.

[Grampa Dave]

Don't forget those dangerous farmers, ranchers and people like you and I who like to live around these nice areas.

You are exactly right when you say environmentalists would rather see the forest burn than a capitalist make any money off the timber. Another disturbing facy is that the timber to be harvested is on PRIVATE PROPERTY!!! This is blatently socialism at work and has to be stopped in it's tracks, or it will ultimately affect every landowner/farmer/rancher in the US.

"Golden rejected arguments that his stay would hurt the company and northwest California's regional economy. The ruling affects 211,000 acres owned by the Scotia-based company, Golden noted in his 14-page ruling.

Without a court-ordered stay, Golden said logging that could hurt timberlands and wildlife would continue. He rejected arguments that state agencies sufficiently took those environmental concerns into account in their decisions.

Under the circumstances, the judge ruled his stay "is not against the public interest, but, to the contrary, serves the public interest."

Unbelievable!

Thanks for the ping.

It is so gooood to be back! Had the scare of my life for sure! Still have to take it easy, but setting around is not one of the best things I am good at!

Here's something you can do to directly and negatively impact the powerbase of the enviral-whackoists...help us defeat their buddy Jay Rockefeller on November 5th.
