One wonders how the judges misinterpreted it.
- rayiner 4y agoFirst of all they’re going to read the legislative history and understand that Carter’s brief is definitely putting a spin on what happened: https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2022/03/16/20-35721.pdf https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2022/03/16/2.... Pp. 14-15. The amicus brief immediately raised alarm bells on first reading, suggesting that Congress didn’t intend the Secretary to consider economic values. Congress basically never does that in an environmental law. They are always a compromise that requires balancing conservation goals with economic needs. That’s true especially in this context, where native land is at issue.
