On the recordMarch 2, 1995
The cases that I have cited today, whether it was an abandoned eagle's nest, the people who have been hurt were not developers. They were just average property owners. The farmers and ranchers in the hill country of Texas who have been affected by the warbler and the vireo, who cannot cut cedar, those are not developers. Or the people west of San Antonio who have had their water rights abrogated and were affected by a fountain darter in two springs, those were not developers. These are average citizens who just want to enjoy the basic constitutional right given to them by our forefathers.
