In reply to the discussion: Hawaiian court revokes permit for planned mega-telescope [View all]longship
(40,416 posts)And I don't know about the legal procedures except that there is no foul here in the basic claims of the observatory at the summit.
The native Hawaiians have no claim that the observatory infringes on their rights because the observatory is a small part of the summit on the largest mountain on the planet. There is no harm here.
They can make all the sacrifices and pray all they want on the huge rest of the summit. Their argument is that they want the whole summit or they will be damaged.
And they claim that they want fairness?
Fuck them.
The observatory has the right to build the TMT. Once that is decided by the inevitable appeal, any protester blocking the way should be arrested.
They have no claim on the observatory. They have the entire rest of the largest mountain on the planet.
But we want it ALL!
I say, fuck them.
