Stopped clocks, federal judges
Stopped clocks and Federal judges occasionally do something right, and judges deserve praise on those rare occasions.
This time, a Federal district judge in Yakima has overturned Initiative 297, approved overwhelmingly last November by the Useful Idiots of this state. Prop 297 attempted to stop the shipment of nuke waste to the Hanford nuclear facility, which would have monkey-wrenched the existing waste disposal setup.
Until Yucca Flat gets up and running we're getting by with several different workarounds for nuke waste, including storage at Hanford. Needless to say, Yucca Flat is being stalled by envirofascist litigation, which could be solved if we had a President.
So Bravo to Judge McDonald! He actually supported the law, which is a rare and excellent thing in a judge.

Correction: Yucca Mountain, not Yucca Flat. The latter is a more common phrase, which must be why I automatically write it, but it's not the actual name of the place!
