Unbelievable!

Moonbat judges not only rule burned timber can't be harvested but that BLM violated National Environmental Policy Act for scraping 33 miles of fire line and dropping 40,000 gallons of chemical retardant to stop the original fire.

The inmates are running the asylum.

The Ninth Circuit may as well issue their rulings on a chalk board, as the Supreme Court routinely overturns them.

Hey, I’m all for suing the government over government property policy. This is public land and the BLM, Department of Agriculture, National Forest Service, et al, act as if they own the land vs. the public owning it. You get arbitrary, egocrats in management of certain public lands and they act as if the taxpayer doesn’t own the land and that they can restrict hunting, fishing, etc. while allowing a company to come in and ruin the land that we all own collectively. Good ruling from a long list of bad rulings by the 9’th Circus.

That land is owned by the taxpayers to be used by the taxpayers (especially those who buy hunting licenses and fishing licenses or buy camping/day use permits as they pay extra to use the land), not by one lumber company that paid off somebody.

One thing I always wonder in cases like this - are the judges idiots or are their hand tied by stupid laws.

Normally, I blame the laws, but this is the 9th...

(For those of you into logic, yes, I know my first sentence involves a false dilemma.)

What a shameful waste of resources.
Incredible!

[CHEE]

I’m shocked to hear the 9th circuit court (in San Francisco?) would take this action. Tell me it ain’t so!

What is more unbelieveable is that this is on the heels of the devastating fire at South Lake Tahoe which destroyed 264 homes and other outbuildings on June 24th. The Tahoe Regional Planning Authority was not even allowing people to rake up pine needles from the forest floor on their property. This dead tree fuel is only wonderful fuel for the next set of lightning strikes, and there is a storm moving that direction as I type this.
It is painfully obvious that the people making these kinds of decisions never have lived in the rural parts of this country and are totally clueless.
I sincerely hope that the logging companies push this to the US Supreme Court.

The 9th Circus really enjoys being overturned. They have something like a 70-80% rate as it is. I guess they were hungry for another.

[Not just another dumb blonde]

Well, I say the next time they have a fire, the treehuggers can put out their own damned fire. Complaining about a fire line? Or flame retardant? These people have wasted too too much time smoking that funny stuff. You know, per capita, Oregon has way more fruits and nuts than Ca. I am in complete awe of their necessity to cut off their noses to spite their faces.

[Old Professer]

What “wood” you expect?, they live in glass houses with marble floors.

[AuntB]

Idiot judges.

Don’t let the log any of it!!! Let it ALL burn down.

Idiots.

We have to fight the fires and the judges.
