The Ninth Circus Court of Appeals has overturned Bush's overturning of Clinton's roadless forest policy. The policy that has left thousands of acres of wild fires without any effective way for firefighters to fight them. The policy has required the use of firefighting aircraft and smoke jumpers, and arguably has cost firefighters a few dozen good men and women. (Not that enviro-wackos care about men and women)

According to The Washington Post, the judges wrote that roadless areas of national forests "help conserve some of the last unspoiled wilderness in our country" and that logging and road construction, while arguably useful in preventing forest fires and combating insects and disease, are "inimical to conservation."

If you are asking yourself what that has to do with the rule of law, the answer is nothing. It is pure activism from the bench. Stefany Bales, a spokeswoman for the Intermountain Forest Association notes that "Judge Lodge still has to rule on the merits of the case, and we'll see what happens next."

Still, the environmental wackos are reveling in their success. Eric Jorgensen, managing attorney for the Alaska office of a wacko organization called Earthjustice, whose slogan is 'Because the earth needs a good lawyer' (no shit), notes that, "There's still more to be done, more proceedings, but this is a major step forward for roadless areas in this country."

I would ask how this nut knows this is a step forward for the roadless areas? Perhaps the roadless areas want roads. The earth doesn't have any way of building roads itself, and has been waiting patiently for man to come along and pave the way (literally) to the remote areas of the forest.
