Keeping our (middle) fingers raised

Hooray for Ellen Huvelle, who recognized that the Department of Paranoid Xenophobes (oops, we mean, Homeland Security) erred in proceeding with the border wall in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area! While issuing a restraining order against the construction of the wall in this fragile place, Judge Huvelle also recognized some of the darker sides of the wall building issue:

She questioned whether federal agencies were deliberately rushing the process and the construction to get it done before anyone had a chance to object.

No doubt they did. This Administration has demonstrated time and time again it's utter disregard for public process, environmental laws, and, indeed, human life.

But will Chertoff stoop so low again and invoke the Real ID waivers? (Be sure to vote "NO" in the poll on the page.)
