Fed Court Dismisses PA Senate Lawsuit Against DRBC Frack Ban

In a brilliant move aimed at boxing in the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), two northeastern Pennsylvania State Senators--Gene Yaw and Lisa Baker--along with members of the PA Senate Republican Caucus (27 Senators in all), filed a lawsuit in January against the DRBC accusing the quasi-governmental agency of “taking” the property rights of PA residents without just compensation under the law (see PA Senators Sue DRBC for “Taking” Property re Frack Ban). Unfortunately, last week a federal court judge in Philadelphia appointed by RINO George W. Bush has dismissed the case claiming the Senators, who represent people shafted by the DRBC, don't have "standing" to bring the lawsuit. They represent those people! How is that not standing?
