So you're telling me that, even after reading the complete decision, you can't explain how the final rule was not arbitrary nor capricious. You're agreeing with the Ninth, but you don't know why other than they gave the ruling you wanted.
OK, let's start back even a little further. The USDA said the chances of importing BSE was "low". What scale were they using?
I read it I understand it and even if I did explain it to you, you would tell me I took it out of context like you think everyone does when the evidence doesn't follow your R-CALF Brain Washed reality. So in the interest of truth read it yourself. Or Are you telling all of us that you are not willing to read 41 pages of a ruling that went against R'CALF to find out for YOURSELF why the Ninth found it not to be Arbitrary and Capricious on ALL SIX COUNTS? So I guess there is not much hope of you reading the AHPA or the OIE or the NAFTA reports either is there. As they also go against the Brain Washed reality you thrive on . Stop with your stupid question unless you are willing to help yourself understand what the Appeal court and most others believe to be true. :roll:
The Ninth court is the same outfit who ruled "Under God" had to be removed from the Pledge of Allegance. They also ruled that parents had no right to question what school boards decided to teach their own children. Here they are backing the efforts of the same bunch who said your feed ban became effective in March, 1999. You'll have to excuse me for not swallowing all they say hook, line, and sinker.
So far, all you've exhibited is the universal ability to repeat what you've heard. A bird can do that. An inanimate object such as a tape recorder can do that. I'm asking you to step out of your comfort zone and think, reason, maybe even ask a question like "Does that make sense"?
The whole jist of the USDA's arguement boiled down to a low risk. What the hell is low? Low to who? Low compared to what? The California citrus growers are scrambling right now because "low" temperatures are threatening their crop. "Low" in this case is slightly below freezing. Would you consider 30F to be low for you tonight? Unless you have a scale such as average temperatures in California's case, "low" is totally arbitrary - it really means nothing.
Now, if you can find the scale the USDA used in those 40 pages you think you understand that shows us what "low" means in this case, bring it forward. If you can't, "low" is arbitrary.
Do you want to give up and go on to "capricious" now?
