Dave's words that went with James's letter

Good news: The California Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for the Rinehart case on the first of June. This is perhaps the most important litigation concerning mining and prospecting on the public lands in over a hundred years. As many of you know, the Third Appellate Court decided unanimously for gold prospectors several years ago, and all or most other mining-related litigation in California is now on hold, waiting for direction from the high court.

Traditionally, once oral arguments are scheduled, it means the justices have studied the litigation and have probably already reached a tentative decision on how they will rule.
It is likely they will issue a final ruling soon after oral arguments while the case remains fresh on their minds.

This means we are very close to a major crossroads where unreasonable and prohibitory over-regulation by the State is going to be dramatically pushed back, or it isn't. Please keep your fingers crossed for our side, and stay tuned for more news.

I know we all are hopeing for a very favorable outcome BUT don't get your hopes up , the California courts have been known to do just the opposite of what is common sense and the right thing to do! Be prepared to be attacked from a different angle! the lawsuits wont stop!

Unfortunate but true Russ. We're dealing with some real zealots on this issue and everyone knows you can't reason with people like that. Even worse is that they have deep pockets and don't mind throwing good money after bad. Oh wait!!!! I forgot that they've wrangled getting the people to pay for their craziness!

just a heads up; the latest thing their using to shut down mining is declaring a stream an "Outstanding Resource Water"
they have even created a manual to shut down rivers using ORW http://www.wildearthguardians.org/site/DocServer/ONRW_Handbook_Final_Sept_2011.pdf?docID=3542

They come in with some simple guidelines aimed at something that don't initially pop red flags up and THEN use it against us with "their" interpretation! Good reason for all of us to be on our toes and keep a eye on whats happening in your state! This will never end!
