Eighth Circuit hears arguments about fireworks at Mount Rushmore

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments on Wednesday, Jan. 12, in South Dakota ’s ongoing battle to shoot off fireworks at Mount Rushmore for Independence Day. The state says the National Park Service wrongly denied a 2021 permit after a successful event the year before. But the feds say every year brings its own set of circumstances to be considered, and so each permit needs to be studied.
