Alabama Power's lawyer stood in court today and called @Gfennchurch's stand "ridiculous stuff." Is defending your own land ridiculous?
Judge Jonathan Spann pushed back: "How am I to enter a restraining order against the defendant when the underlying issue in the condemnation case is still being litigated in the Supreme Court?"
He says he'll rule quickly.
Church's lawyer also brought an Army memo pausing the Corps of Engineers' review of an Alabama Power permit tied to the project. The judge didn't admit it into evidence.
As an Alabama landowner, I don't think standing at your own property line is ridiculous. It's American.
Is it ridiculous? Drop a comment.
