US Supreme Court Shuts Out Environmental Contingency
"We will not sit idly by while our property is seized by the federal government to build an expedient but useless, expensive and potentially damaging wall across the Texas-Mexico border," said coalition president Chad Foster, mayor of Eagle Pass. "We are determined to stop Secretary Chertoff from acting as if he is above the law."
AP reports here:
McALLEN, Texas (AP)-- A U.S. Supreme Court decision paving the way for a 670-mile fence along the U.S. - Mexico border drew swift criticism from environmentalists, who promised to make another legal stand in Texas.
The justices' turned down a plea Monday to hear a lawsuit opposing a two mile section of the fence in Arizona brought by the Sierra Club and Defenders of Wildlife.
The section of the fence in question in that case has already been built and even if the court had taken the case, oral arguments would not have been heard until October.
But Monday's decision could have the most immediate implications for Texas, where opposition has been most widespread and fence construction is expected to begin next month. :: FULL STORY HERE::
