Last Minute Suit to Block Conveyance of Kerr Dam Project to Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes Fails

Here are the materials so far in Keenan v. Bay (D. D.C.):

2 Complaint

19-1 Motion for TRO

20 DCT Order Denying TRO

An excerpt:

Plaintiffs have also failed to adduce any evidence that they are likely to suffer irreparable harm should the Kerr license be transferred to CSKT and EKI. In their Motion, Plaintiffs make general claims of economic harm they will allegedly suffer should CSKT and EKI take control of the Kerr dam. Additionally, Plaintiffs make general allegations regarding the natural security importance of the Kerr Project, as well as somewhat perplexing arguments regarding the Turkish Government’s involvement with Native Americans. However, to the extent such injuries are cognizable, nowhere are those allegations substantiated in the record. Indeed, at hearing, counsel for Plaintiffs conceded that no such evidence has been submitted relating to the Plaintiffs’ alleged economic harm. Accordingly, Plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden here.

    Who knew! That darn Bryan Newland and Rep. ColeMAN were fronting for terrorists when working on the HEARTH Act? (Somehow, the erstwhile plaintiffs missed Newland’s involvement in the HEARTH Act–surely it is not coincidental that Bay Mills was one of the Tribes reported to have listened to Turkish entreaties to “do business,” particularly given Bay Mills’ proximity to CANADA, an entry path for terrorists.) Why did nobody expose this before? In all seriousness, if Rule 11 has any meaning at all, there are a couple of lawyers who deserve a real smack-down here.
