A judge canceled the air quality permit for a natural gas power plant that’s under construction along the Yellowstone River in Montana citing worries over climate change. State District Judge Michael Moses ruled Thursday that Montana officials failed to adequately consider the 23 million tons of planet-warming greenhouse gases that the project would emit over several decades. (Snip) The $250 million plant is being built by Sioux Falls, South Dakota-based NorthWestern Energy and would operate for at least 30 years. The company will appeal the order, a spokesperson said in a statement Friday, saying that the ruling could jeopardize reliable

This is crazy. How can one judge halt the power plant?

Superstition rules the world. May as well claim Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec god, is angry at the project. It would have more evidence to support it than the mythical global warming.

Michael Glen Moses was a judge of the 13th Judicial District Court for Yellowstone County in Montana. He was appointed to the court by Democratic Governor Steve Bullock on April 18, 2014, and was sworn in on May 20, 2014. Moses ran for election to a full term in 2014, but was defeated in the primary. He stepped down from the bench at the end of 2014. Moses was reappointed to the bench in 2015 and ran for election in 2016. As an incumbent running unopposed, he faced a retention election on November 8, 2016. Moses won retention in the election. He also just announced his retirement Mar 1st...effective July 1st.

And I assume he is going after private jets next? A power plant provides heat/air conditioning, light, powers tools, allows businesses to operate and be open, street lights, stop lights, hospital equipment, and on and on and on. And private jets provide . . . what exactly?

During his tenure, Moses ruled on a number of high-profile cases: Last year, he temporarily blocked enforcement of a law that required transgender people to have undergone a “surgical procedure” before being allowed to change their sex on their birth certificates. He also struck down three laws regulating Montana elections, saying they “severely” burdened the right to vote, especially for Native Americans, students, the elderly and voters with disabilities.

May I add, we are a Republic, rule by the people, especially on the local level, as the Founders planned so carefully. Then we sent Representatives to the Federal level, and again, they are responsible for the local interests and needs, balanced with the national, then the Senate, a bunch of supposedly wise men (and women), to weigh and ponder the wild and often hot-tempers in the House. The Judges need to stay out of politics and stick to their duties of adjudication. There's way too much court involvement in our lives. And since the Left has taken over universities and grad schools, teachers' colleges and medical schools, we've got a tough job rebalancing our political system as our wise Founders designed it.

There probably is not enough ink or paper to make a list of all the judges who have no evidence showing independently held wisdom. Their agenda is not only being driven by idiots, it is being jet propelled. Just imagine the lies and the misjudgments this robed fool (and his similarly placed cohort) has rendered and called it law.

In particular, Biden took credit for investing in new, clean energy projects and "bringing the supply chain back to America" through the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act, and his remarks closely resembled speeches the president has recently delivered in Maryland, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. When the United States government makes considerable resources available for new industries, what does that do to businesses?" Biden asked Monday.

Although the hiring of Dylan Mulvaney as a spokesfigure (is that really a word?) is not mentioned, the move is implicitly part of the strategy she outlines, which is in essence, to forget about the existing customers, who are “fratty and out of touch,” and instead acquire new, younger customers, presumably the products of the indoctrination factories we call public schools and universities.

The law that redefined death in 1981, referred to as the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA), is being revised. The UDDA states that death by neurologic criteria must consist of "irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brainstem." However, in actual practice, doctors examine only the brainstem. The result is that people are being declared dead even though some still have detectable brainwaves, and others still have a part of the brain that functions, the hypothalamus. Lawyers have caught on, pointing out in lawsuits that the whole brain standard was not met for their clients.
