US district judge James Boasberg said in a 91-page decision that the corps failed to take into account how a spill might affect “fishing rights, hunting rights, or environmental justice, or the degree to which the pipeline’s effects are likely to be highly controversial”.
Okay, so now self-righteous progressives are styling their cause as
environmental justice. And they seem to be tipping their hand of monstrous social and judicial stupidity by
expanding the regulatory requirement of environmental impact statements to include the possibility that someone in that "environmental justice" movement might get
upset.(The judge's environmental concerns apparently center on the potential for the project to
melt snowflakes. [I guess that's a global warming thing, too.])
