Maybe they didn’t. Both parties may appeal a decision they don’t like.

Agreed...There are thousands of these environuts embedded in federal and state agencies thanks to the many well funded groups of these tree huggers. Getting names would be a start, firing them would be the ideal thing but probably not gonna happen.

Much ignored is the fact that Obama had no fewer than 13 unanimous SCOTUS rulings against him in just the first 4 years

Trump - 0

JUDGES/PLAINTIFFS who were responsible for wasting SCOTUS time should be heavily sanctioned and fined.

9-0 means this was a nuisance suit.

This fraud began at least as far back as the 80's.

Biology prof's would send students on field trips to 'find' an 'endangered species' on every plot they walked.

The result was not only the bastardization of the term "species", but the LIE that they were somehow unique to that particular area.

The objective was to have a catalog of as much area as possible to be able to object to any proposed development, anywhere, anytime.

Who would ever be equipped to prove them wrong?

It took 25 years to prove the Preble's mouse was not unique or endangered, yet they remain protected.

Merely working for “the Government” over time tends to make one a statist.

Related stuff the SCOTUS should examine:

1) When a tiny minority of a non-threatened species lives elsewhere, in a less hospitable environment for it, should not qualify it as endangered.

2) When a species is endangered, it does *not* mean it is endangered by humans or human activity. In such cases, captive breeding-for-release is far preferable to placing a hostile environment for the species off limits to humans, thus helping to insure the endangered species dies off.

3) Temporary natural or artificial changes do not require that such changes be maintained by people. For example, a strong rain or a busted water pipe that leaves a big puddle does not legally convert that ground into a “wetland”.

4) There needs to be an “overriding federal imperative” for the POTUS to declare or keep federally protected lands. The individual states should maintain the right to declare such lands as “common” and not deserving of federal control or protection, so by court order they can be returned to the states.

Is there *any* rationale that explains why the federal government needs to control *this much* land?

It should not be in their domain or control. Give it back.

“As you know, many federal employees are virtually untouchable.”

So that has to be one of Trump’s “job #1’s” to make them “touchable.” I don’t know of any private company where you can tell the boss to go f*ck himself and still have a job.

Yep, and now the many enviro groups funded by huge sums of money from donations have banks of well paid lawyers for their mostly frivolous lawsuits.
