Promises made must be kept. Otherwise, we are back to mistrust.
"Back to" implies that trust was ever given.
I wonder if the anti-TMT groups can accept a decision that upholds the TMT's CDUP.
I find this ironic: as the anti-TMT factions insist that "their" mountain is sacred under pre-contact rules, how can they also condescend to the jurisdiction of a US court?
only option in this scenario is to petition the US Supreme Court
Unless the TMT becomes a matter of "international trade" governed by treaty (such as the TPP currently in secret negotiations), at which point merely "national" courts and laws are irrelevant.
