The Navajo Nation is one of many tribal nations with water rights to the Colorado River, but water is dwindling as corporate farms in California use it up.
Water justice in SoCal is the story of Los Angeles. Ever seen the classic Nicholson film, China Town ? True Story. A very complex and politically embattled topic that rarely receives the headline recognition the unfolding disaster deserves. But so much less and so consistent with the under-or-non-reporting of the Native People’s perspective. A perspective if we remember are legally and morally sovereign entities with whom the United States are treaty bound to provide the promises allocating resources that were made. Broken Treaties, Native Peoples. True Story. You add into the mix The Colorado River Basin Plan, which only retained 5% of its water for Nevada, and this is just another counter judicial decision that this rouge SCOTUS --Trump's SCOTUS--has rendered. Constitutional and environmental case book editors are doing well, at least, and at last their annually updated editions will include more than just updated font ! Note to self : Re-Review Washington State Salmon Fisheries Access Case.
I was thinking about why courthouses are made of stone. Besides the architecturals, maybe it’s for justice is as erosive and as ultimate as water. Perhaps the structures themselves disclose the contours of the justice that built their temples and houses of justice, You can't stop the flow of water. You can't stop the flow of justice. But it must be routed correctly or it, like water, is wasted. The branches of liberty require the proper irrigation of justice to flourish. And we find ourselves back to this very well framed and written article. Again, a subject I credit the writer for in their striking the fine balance between brevity and depth. Because this subject indeed has ample heaps of both. Now I have some cases I need to read up on.
Oh and OJ died today. A death without penance CBS reports. Water. Justice, Marginalized Peoples.
