As the details come out, it gets even worse.
“Like Judge Boyle’s previous status conference in March, the atmosphere in this session was convivial rather than judicial. The judge and the attorneys for the plaintiffs (the SELC) and the defendants (the Park Service) seemed to share a ‘we’re-all-on-the-same-side’ camaraderie, helping one another through rhetorical mazes and exchanging personal anecdotes. Unlike the previous conference, however, there was no reference made to what the SELC’s Derb Carter had called ‘the opposition,’ the county governments and beach access advocacy organizations and the position which they represent.”
Boyle never asked anything of Mike Murray, superintendent of the seashore, last week. He never even asked him for his opinion of Carter’s exaggerated claims of consent decree success. And the man is the seashore’s chief.
