A federal court handed South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem a loss Wednesday. The 8th circuit court declared Governor Noem’s lawsuit against the Biden administration seeking to launch fireworks at Mount Rushmore on the 4th of July 2021 a quote “issue of the past.” The court also denied allegations made by Noem the decision was done arbitrary and capriciously.
