[at-l] Bush opens forest roads

Gee Kelly, I thought you worked in a lawyer firm and dealt with this stuff 
all the time. :)

Bryan is as disoriented as ever. He confused my general observation 
regarding the history of the states rights debate with a specific argument 
regarding forest roads then quoted statutes/cases dealing with 
establishment of highways. His choice of "facts" ignores that the roadless 
rule was upheld in court (Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals) in Dec. 2002. 
Evidently Bryan believes that once laws and rules are in place they cannot 
be changed even by the legally established procedures such as those that 
were followed for the roadless rule, unless of course the same procedures 
are used to get rid of the roadless rule. Then it's legal and okay. Before 
it can take effect, the change proposed by Bush has to go through the same 
18 month public hearing/comment process as the roadless rule did when it 
was established under Clinton. With a bit of luck and voter turnout, Bush 
won't be around to finalize it.
