I absolutely agree with your post. Another example of the impact of the EO for environmental justice... this one is from CA also (surprise, surprise).
Just north of Santa Barbara along US101, there is a beautiful piece of property that you can see from the highway. The landowner wanted to develop his land and that would have required the cutting of some Live Oak trees. The "citizens" sued because the trees are rare for the area... FOR THE AREA.
As I recall, the citizenry won over the property owner and the trees were spared.
Forget about justice to redress wrong done to you. It is nothing more than a tool now.
There are thousands of environmental justice lawsuits going on right now. If you do a google search, you'd be shocked at how many are being pursued against property owners right now.
I don't know how environmental justice EO stay, its so unconstitutional. And a pox on the lawyers who have changed the court system to allow for a *.justice lawsuits. They are communist opportunists to the nth degree.
