Climate change is not a man made thing. Anyone that thinks that we, as mere men, can alter the course of nature in that way, is either a moron, or totally delusional.......

Team Obama appeased climate extremists in North Dakota, and now they’re going on trial for it

States are always the underdog going against the federal behemoth

The biggest trial you likely have never heard of will finally start Thursday. North Dakota v. United States will begin nearly eight years after the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests broke out. 

North Dakota sued under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), which allows individuals and states to sue the federal government for monetary damages attributed to its negligent or wrongful actions. Just like you can sue your neighbor if their houseguests destroy your yard, North Dakota sued for damages incurred by DAPL protesters.

This says it all in a nutshell.

The aftermath of the DAPL controversy is about more than the pipeline, protests and policing costs. It highlights the corruption within the ranks of the federal government, which neglected to enforce standard USACE protest permitting procedures, drew out the process, and failed to assist law enforcement in any meaningful way. 

Political expediency meant government officials chose to put protesters above established legal procedures, without considering the damage it would cause.

And this is a pattern of behavior for the federal government as seen in several instances of them not doing a damn thing to curb the violence in 2020 and any other time blm, their contemporaries and their supporters laid seige to towns, cities and neighborhoods. And, yes, even the Capitol building on January 6th.
