Bush Asks Supreme Court to Rule on Wilderness

WASHINGTON, DC, July 21, 2003 (ENS)

The Bush Administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling that found the public has a right to enforce wilderness protections on public lands. The case, which originated in Utah, centers on whether the public can force the federal government to protect Wilderness Study Areas from damage.

The question presented to the Supreme Court is, "Whether the authority of the federal courts to "compel agency action unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed," extends to review of the adequacy of an agency's ongoing management of public lands under general statuatory standards and its own land use plans.

According to Earthjustice, the nonprofit, public interest law firm handling the case for 15 environmental organizations and one individual, by requesting that the Supreme Court review the case, the administration is saying it has sole authority to protect, or ignore, America's public lands. ---

The people actually want to be heard! Don't they know that they are irrelevant? Silly American people...,tsk ,tsk.

Important stuff and it is hard for people to grasp -- but this is very good

:grr:

There ain't hardly any trees in Texass.

in their graves.

The gall, insensitivity, and greed of this misadministration never ceases to amaze me. They simply have no clue!

Too bad, we can't move this land out of the U.S....temporarily to Canada...where it would be protected until a new and responsible administration can take charge.

:nuke:

He cares nothing about the legacy left to our children. He doesn't care if his pro-industry anti-conservation robs kids of a future. He is a global elitist who could care less about Americans. What is evil is that he is dooming his own grandchildren to a Soylent Green reality.

I recently saw these two plays in Ashland, Oregon at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. They were magnificent! And, I'm reminded of these riveting plays with this thread.

Please see either or both of these plays when you can! I won't be surprised when they open in New York and London!
