#2 Evidently 'eminent domain' only applies to non-tribal citizens.

#3 Yet another Judge John Roberts and Soetoro legacy. BTW, he is or has been a FISA judge:

On June 17, 2010, President Barack Obama formally nominated Boasberg to the District Court for the District of Columbia.[9] Boasberg was confirmed on March 14, 2011 by a vote of 96 ayes to 0 nays.[13] He received his commission on March 17, 2011.[10]

#4 That Senate confirmation from 2011 is also telling: 96-0. Only nine years ago.

#5 Black robed tyrant.

I would just ignore him and keep going.

#6 I expect the appeals court will stay the District court's decision. With respect to the Supreme court I'm not so optimistic.

The Obama decision to deny the permit was based on the imagined effect of construction; that it would discourage other countries emission reduction programs. Even the Obama team couldn't find any actual environmental detriment.

#7 ...Obama appointee, appointed by UNSC chief justice John Roberts presiding judge of the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and chief judge of the US Alien Terrorist Removal Court....

Really? Chief judge of the US Alien Terrorist Removal Court? Isn't that how guys like the Tsarnaev Bros get to stay here long enough to kill our fellow citizens?

#8 Partially explains the quality of decisions we are getting from FISA.

#9 Warren Buffet will like the decision. He can keep his tank car unit trains going, with occasional wrecks and crude oil spills along RR right of way. No big deal.
