From huffingtonpost.ca:

BILLINGS, Mont. ― A U.S. judge cancelled a key permit Wednesday for the Keystone XL oil pipeline that’s expected to stretch from Canada to Nebraska, another setback for the disputed project that got underway less than two weeks ago following years of delays.

 

Judge Brian Morris said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers failed to adequately consider effects on endangered species such as pallid sturgeon, a massive, dinosaur-like fish that lives in rivers the pipeline would cross.

No, but we already know his name, so they've provided him the spotlight he sought.  The media will be pumping out his saga for the next 2 weeks so the next nutbar anxious to make a name for himself can take inspiration and collect more paper-clippings.  If they treated shooters with anonymous identities as they do juveniles and the victims of crimes, plus suppressed the details of the crime through a publication ban, I believe there would be a significant reduction in copy-cat mass-shootings.   When nothing else works, try psychology.

When I initially read it online it described her as a 23 year old vet and I thought that was weird phrasing.  Even asked my gf if that made sense.  Thanks for the correction.  Makes more sense. Still awful
