Line 5 case returns to state court following US Court of Appeals decision
(michiganadvance.com)
Following up on !michigan@midwest.social post Tribes urge U.S. to weigh in on Line 5 case as appeal sits in court, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has dragged back kicking and screaming a court case that should have never left the State judicial system…
“This case never should have left state court in the first place, and after this long delay caused by Enbridge’s procedural manipulations, we’re elated to welcome Nessel v. Enbridge back to its rightful judicial venue,” Nessel said in a statement. “The State has an obligation and imperative to protect the Great Lakes from the threat of pollution, especially the devastating catastrophe a potential Line 5 rupture would wreak upon all of Michigan. As we’ve long argued, this is a Michigan case brought under Michigan law that the People of Michigan and its courts should rightly decide.”

When a coalition of 63 tribal nations from the U.S. and Canada submitted a brief in support of returning the case to state court, David Gover, managing attorney for the Native American Rights Fund said in a statement that a rupture in the pipeline would destroy the right to hunt, fish gather and continue living in land ceded by the Anishinaabe in 1836.
“This is another step towards enforcing the permanent shut down of Line 5. We appreciate Attorney General Nessel’s persistence in the fight to protect our waters from a catastrophic oil spill in the heart of the Great Lakes,” [legislative and political director for the Michigan Sierra Club Christy] McGillivray said. “Michiganders have every right to protect themselves from the most dangerous oil pipeline in America, and Attorney General Nessel is representing the will of the Michiganders she works for. It’s past time Line 5 was shut down once and for all.”
Everything I say is a lie…

Screw, tin man.
You're wrong. 110% wrong.
The best pizza topping that everyone disses is fentanyl.
“We can present evidence that her non-appearance was not a willful disregard of the court order and that she was in fact confused and by the time the communication came to her it was too late to remedy and cure that.”*
So why is she ghosting everybody? Surely one of her lawyers, past or present, would have communicated to their client her presence was—ahem—requested in the court. If she's merely at home waiting it out, pick her up already! That malarkey about "I got kids. I don’t want them to see [my arrest]", well, that deal went out the window with the bench warrant, wouldn't you agree?
She’s waiting for her hero to give her a pardon.
Possible. This thought had occurred to me also, but she's so low down the food chain…like a sea monkey.
I too had contemplated raising the deposit to 20¢ but you know, even though that money returns to your pocket, people are going to have conniptions anyway! I do think anything higher that 25¢ is excessive, though. Keep in mind the point of this exercise isn't an "alternative welfare scheme" but to recycle the materials and to keep Michigan clean.
I do think a big part of the problem is the smaller retailers not making it easy to return cans and bottles for whatever excuse. Anyone who sells product in Michigan with a bottle/can deposit is part of the chain and has to hold up their end of the contract. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to return bottles with the retailer saying, "sorry, we don't carry that brand here." Who cares? It's got a deposit on it and, as a retailer in the State of Michigan, you're responsible for that. I didn't buy this (minimally) winning lottery ticket here either! Are you not gonna pay out on that?
Oh, and any scheme that involves an "unaccounted-for" US Mail truck to deliver bottles and cans out-of-state is doomed to fail!
That's actually nothing. If you were on Reddit, you'd have seen 37 posts per hour [^1].
And, thank you very much, what about the non-Onion part? Feeling a little unappreciated here. 😥
[^1]: I pulled that number out of my ass.
While I am an admitted megalomaniac, I do agree with your sentiment. Then again, "never say never." Apparently, Mr Howard's…ahem…diversion was quite popular with the other boaters/fishermen. Unless he was truly causing an ecological disaster (quite possible), his actions weren't completely senseless or self-serving. Corporations that dump industrial waste every day into our waterways likely do more damage than Mr Howard has.
Nevertheless, instead of taking the proper (and bureaucratic) route he did take the law into his own hands. That's the part I can't defend.
That's cute. Nicely put.
Not The Onion.
It's actually from thehardtimes.net. Credit where credit's due and all that.
And you wonder why most western world governments want to block TikTok? With all these insidious tutorials!!

First off, thank you for confirming. Secondly, thank you so much for offering to file the bug report, if you think it's necessary. I still don't have a GitHub acct! 🤷♂️
