What Was Not Mentioned by Anyone

NO DISCUSSION and NO QUESTIONS re: The Rape of the Mother!

• EPA may use cost-benefit to fix environment, even if resources are less protected than the would otherwise be...  Entergy Corp. v. Riverkeeper.
  
• environmentalists rights to sue restricted  - private individuals and organizastions have limited chance to shape policies governing public lands and forests.... Summers v. Earth Island Institute.
• US Navy's use of sonar in training does not violate environmental law, even if it harms whales and other marine life.  (This one really upsets me. I feel their pain. They are more advanced than humans.... and we are torturing them!  Time for a NEW LAW!!!!)  Winter V. Natural Resources Defense Council.
• Army Corps of Engineers may let sludge be dumped in lake, even if EPA rules forbid it.  Coeur Alaska v. Southeast Alaska Conservation Council.
• Federal Court's authority to divide up legal responsibility for cleanup of toxic waste dumpsite amongst companies who polluted the Earth. Burlington Norther v. U.S.

So let me get this straight:  in Burlington, Federal Court authority to use discresion or judgment is limited; they must follow the rules.  BUT in Summers, people/groups cannot force the government to follow rules laid down by Congress......

And no one even mentioned this..... all night.  For shame.  Where was I?

Am I missing something here?
