Now, that would be silly, wouldn't it? : )

Maybe there is a little more to this story. Wouldn`t you think if this was exactly as posted, we would have heard about it? This kinda stinks.

[Concho]

I think that this ruling will be appealed quickly, or that the Kongress will act on it before the next summer recreational season.

FreeRepublic declares Federal judge an idiot.

Looking at the earlier thread on this story, I find your reticence to give this story much weight is justified. The web site and this article are hair-on-fire special interest tomfoolery.

This will last less than 15 minutes at the appeal level....

Mr. Paul Hurd Esq. should immediately ask the Appeals Court to enjoin the senile Fed. District decision, file the appeal and move on.

Ducks are headed south -- surf's up behind the heavy tugs/barges, and the hybrid striped turtle-clams are biting!!

the creek behind my house divides my property, i can't stop anybody from being in my part of the creek.

AND... if they step ONE FOOT onto MY property and get hurt, I GET SUED!!! pure bullsh!t...

How do these clowns get to the bench?

Now G, you know the answer.

These federal judges are put there by whatever administration is in power. I believe this one was put there by Klinton. Even more unfortunate, congressional Republicans probably did not even put up a fight.

Now we know why the Dims fight tooth and nail against most of President Bush's nominees. The Dims know one of their last bastions of power over the peeples is the judical area. And the more conservative judges are put in place, the more their power base is eroded.

Dims cannot get their way in Congress? No problem. The judicial branch will ultimately force liberal ideas down the peeples throats!

Good morning.
"Arrest the judge for public stupidity, it must be illegal!"

Shop around a little and I'm sure you will find a judge stupid enough to decide that stupidity is, in fact, illegal.

Give a man a fish and you will own him for a day.

Take away a man's right to fish and you will own him forever.

[Wristpin]

Is this Paul Hurd guy an Attorney? If so he should be disbarred.

The ruling merely states that boaters cannot encroach on private property which is flooded. They can boat til their hearts content below the normal high water line.

I'm a boater and don't see anything crazy about the ruling.

or with the permission of all riparian landowners along the navigable river.

That's just flat out wrong. Nobody owns the water.

[Vision]

Well said.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

METHINKS IT IS THE 'JUDGE' WHO IS DOING THE POACHING...

[jeremiah]

Maybe it will be that some judges will want to be fished out of a river someday, if they keep up this work against individual liberty.

[Wuli]

The judge is a Louisiana Dim appointed to the court in 1998 by Clinton.

If you're in your boat and a warden on shore asks you to come on over so he can write you up, just drive away and make him have to go to the launch ramp to cite you.

[thinking]

Does this include, swimming, and drinking of same water.....

[ANGGAPO]

I guess I will take a shotgun when I go fishing.

"If you're in your boat and a warden on shore asks you to come on over so he can write you up,"

Why would the warden write me up?
