Can anyone actually follow what was happening with the legal injunction and the ACE? I started to read the ruling on the injunction http://earthjustice.org/sites/default/files/files/order-denying-PI.pdf but haven't had time to dig into it thoroughly. What I mostly see is that there's this claim that the the Army Corps of Engineers/DAPL tried repeatedly to contact Waste’ Win Young (the tribes' historic preservation officer) several times over a few month period from ~ September 2014 to February 2015, but failed to get in contact. Is that what the court is considering as having the ACE having "fulfilled" its obligations to try to contact tribal officials? I've tried looking up articles on this but I guess I'm hoping for pretty detail-oriented answers and lol journalism these days. If anyone has information I'd be very appreciative. If nobody responds I think I might read the court filings and try to piece together what the hell happened.

When you say the "dismissal is a pro click" you are taking it as being a 100% legitimate and honest document, and as Tias just posted there may be problems with that claim. Second, even if what's in the document is true, the DAPL people only gave the Standing Rock Sioux a few months to respond to a major project that could have huge impacts on their quality of life. Third,

Let me see if understand you right: They don't think a state that has murdered and poo poo on their people for hundreds of years should be allowed to build an unsafe pipeline through their land - but they should bend over and eat it anyway because said state probably said everything is going to be different this time? Yeah, good luck with that.

It's a natural gas pipeline running nearby, not an oil pipeline. Makes a difference when it leaks.
