One of the greatest obstacles to progress – any progress – is the litigious nature of the environmentalists. Whenever they oppose something, they sue. Since the open borders crowd are often environuts anyway, it stands to reason that they would try to stop the border fence by suing for environmental reasons.
Fortunately, the SCOTUS wasn’t buying:
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to question a law that lets the Homeland Security Department circumvent environmental restrictions and other laws in order to build a fence along part of the Mexican border.
The justices, without comment, today turned away an appeal by the Defenders of Wildlife and the Sierra Club, which challenged a 2-mile stretch of fence in a conservation area in Arizona.
