As I understand the landowners are near bankrupt to win a decision that they can challenge the EPA in court. The EPA held that their decision was “administrative” and the couple had no right to question it. They still have to go to court on the issues.

If that is the case, some victory.

And, if memory serves, the Court that will get to decide ‘on the issues’ will be our old friend, the 9th Circus....

Exactly.

And now they have won Round One the EPA will use Round Two to complete the destruction and bankruptcy.

The obvious response from Congress ought to be to reduce the EPA's annual budget to $1.00.

No one should hold their breath in anticipation that Congress will do anything to curb a totalitarian federal agency. Why make yourself a target of the enviros? Risk your comfortable congressional seat just because the EPA ruined the lives of Obama’s subjects?

As you said, this is probably no victory at all.
