On the recordFebruary 6, 2014
Mr. Chairman, this amendment, very simply, seeks to limit, if not eliminate, judicial review on those who have an interest in grazing on our public lands. This amendment attempts to, with incentives--negative incentives to the public--limit the public from challenging Federal action on grazing decisions by making them pay the prevailing party's legal fees. Like I have mentioned before, all Federal taxpayers are on the hook for subsidizing grazing on Federal lands; therefore, all citizens of this country should have the opportunity to challenge the decisions made that have an effect on their public lands. With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
