TX-Judge throws out border fence case
Judge throws out border fence case
By NEDRA PICKLER – 13 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit to stop construction of the U.S.-Mexico border fence ordered by the Bush administration.
The Texas Border Coalition, a coalition of mayors and business and community leaders, sued the Homeland Security Department last year. The group said the department did not fairly negotiate compensation with landowners for access to their land for six-month surveys to choose fence sites.
The Bush administration pledged to build roughly 660 miles of fencing and other barriers along the border to help keep out illegal immigrants. About 625 miles is complete.
But U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton ruled Friday that the coalition did not have standing to sue since its members were not the affected property owners.
(This version CORRECTS APNewsNow. corrects number of miles Bush administration pledged to complete to roughly 660 miles sted 667.)

This was a pretty bold decision knowing that Obama forgot to include any money in his new budget for completing the fence.

Texas is right on the battle field. I admire this judge for standing up for the rule of law.
