A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has handed a victory to environmental groups over a uranium mining ban on lands next to the Grand Canyon.

Kevin Dahl, Arizona program manager for the National Parks Conservation Association, joins me with his perspectives on the ruling and what could be next.
