Show Notes
Arizonas Republican leaders failed in their attempt to dismantle a new national monument near the Grand Canyon. The Ninth Circuit Court unanimously ruled against them, stating their claimed harms were too speculative. The monument, known as Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon, covers one million acres and bans mining indefinitely. Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes celebrated the win, while Senate President Warren Petersen vowed to continue the fight, seeking assistance from the Trump team. The court dismissed claims of lost tax revenue, unstable water supplies, and increased energy costs as mere conjecture. The monument remains intact, protecting sacred sites for tribes like the Navajo Nation and Havasupai.
