	Yes, it's way too long.  The case should have been thrown out the day it

was filed.  CARD is a bunch of fanatics and nut cases.  I live in

Albuquerque where CARD is headquartered and have watched its antics and

maneuverings for over 20 years.

 Court rejects group's challenge, letting WIPP

 shipments continue

 

 "A federal court last week dismissed an environmental group's claim that

 transuranic waste shipments to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP)

 violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, allowing

 those shipments to continue. The U.S. District Court of New Mexico's June

30 decision ends court consideration of a five-year-old lawsuit against

 DOE. The group, Citizens for Alternatives to Radioactive Dumping (CARD),

 filed the case two days before WIPP received its first transuranic waste

 shipment March 26, 1999."
