PIERRE, S.D. – Attorney General Marty Jackley announced today that the U.S. Supreme Court has denied the Friends of Norbeck and Native Ecosystem’s petition to review in the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve challenge.
On September 3, 2010, the Friends of Norbeck and the Native Ecosystems Council filed a lawsuit in Colorado Federal District Court requesting a permanent injunction to enjoin implementation of the Timber Management Plan for the Preserve Area. On October 12, 2010, the State of South Dakota, filed a Motion to Intervene into the litigation and to move venue from Colorado to South Dakota District Court.
“It was and remains the State’s position that there is a considerable local interest in the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve, and that South Dakotans have a unique stake in the management of the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve giving rise to a more appropriate litigation forum here in South Dakota,” said Jackley. On October 18, 2010, the Colorado District Court agreed and transferred the case to Federal District Court in South Dakota.
In November 2011, the United States Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the U.S. District Court of South Dakota’s dismissal of the environmentalists’ lawsuit that sought to block implementation of the timber management plan for the Norbeck Wildlife preserve area in the Black Hills.
“We can now appropriately continue with the Norbeck forestry plan to preserve our forest,” said Jackley. “Without immediate action to counter the pine beetle infestation, our forest and wildlife remain at risk.”
The other challenge to the overall forest plan remains ongoing in federal court in Wyoming. The State of South Dakota has successfully intervened into the latest litigation over the Black Hills Forest Land and Resource Management Plan recently filed by environmentalist in the U.S. District Court of Wyoming. Environmental groups are seeking to invalidate and delay the U.S. Forest Service forest plan in South Dakota and Wyoming. Part of the litigation centers upon certain site-specific projects that are designed to address the devastating effects of the pine beetle epidemic this is occurring in the Black Hills.
The States of South Dakota and Wyoming have intervened in this action asserting sovereign and economic interests within the Black Hills National Forest that would be harmed by a decision in the environmentalist favor.
Final arguments in this case are scheduled for July in Casper, Wyoming.

Just in time for Memorial Day, we’re being treated to a generous serving of praise and grandstanding by politicians, corporations and others with similarly self-serving motives eager to go on record as being pro-military. We erect monuments for those who die while serving in the military, yet for those who return home, there’s little honor to be found. Making matters worse, thanks to Operation Vigilant Eagle, a program launched by the Department of Homeland Security in 2009, military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are also being characterized as extremists and potential domestic terrorist threats.
In testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, outgoing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Steven Miller’s suggested that the targeting of tea party and other groups was in part caused by Congress’ failure to provide “clear rules” on what constitutes political activity. But those rules are already clear, Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens noted.
We are to believe, according to the pro-O media, that President Obama has survived the scandals and his ratings haven't dropped dangerously low. I don't believe it. Too much talk on the streets says differently. There are people who like to mess with the poll results, just because they can. There are people who swing back and forth on their opinions on any given day. And, there are people who are probably afraid their answers are being reported back to some central source for loyalty review.
What do you have when you have a theory that is contradicted by observed scientific law? For one thing, you don't have much in the way of a viable scientific law.
Those words written in the early years of the 19th century by Sir Walter Scott referred to his story of a love triangle with all of the intrigue that ensued. But it could equally represent the corruption and deception rife within the Obama Administration, within the State Department, in the IRS and among far too many of the personnel and bureaucrats existing in an ever growing BIG government. But the big question remains why the State Department and the White House have spun such a web of lies over Benghazi.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
