About six people from Boise and Idaho Falls gathered in the Northwest corner of Ann Morrison Park to protest the meeting of Federal judges who met this morning to discuss the future of BP lawsuits. BP has requested a single judge with ties to the oil industry preside over the combined lawsuits.

The protesters marched to the James A. McClure Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse and arrived at approximately 9 a.m.

Keep checking back at CityDesk for continued updates about the protest at the courthouse and what the protesters had to say.

I saw these folks on my way to work. I thought they were headed to a protest rally... not that they WERE the protest rally.

I hope the one(s) from Idaho Falls rode their bike to Boise. Or drove their Volt. Wait, in order to drive a Volt from Idaho Falls without using fuel, you would have to stop every 40 miles to charge. That would mean a stop in Blackfoot, Pocatello, American Falls, Raft River, Hazelton, Jerome, Bliss, Glenns Ferry, Mountain Home, and Stage Stop Truck Stop. This trip, figuring a 1 hour charge time at each stop (I think it takes longer though) would take at least 15 hours.

I thought about going, but I wouldn't have walked. I would have driven along beside them in my huge SUV.
