It's already been a wild year and it's literally only the second week of January as I write this. Yet, despite the litany of insane news that's surfaced in the last two weeks, along with the death and destruction in Los Angeles, and the countless other stories that've likely aged all of us at least 10 years since December, there's a bright spot I can bring you today.
Utah's public lands lawsuit against the federal government has failed. Praise be.
The US Supreme Court told the state, along with the 14 other states that signed onto it, to kick rocks as the nation's top court declined to even hear the lawsuit in its chambers. And, honestly, I definitely didn't have that on my Bingo card, as despite public pressure and public support for public lands, the Supreme Court hasn't really sided with the public as of late.
Still, we should take the win. Because it's absolutely a win.
