		By contrast, in her dissent, Justice Owen argued that, "[w]hile the Constitution certainly permits the Legislature to enact laws that preserve and conserve the State's natural resources, there is nothing in the Constitution that requires the Legislature to exercise that power in any particular manner," ignoring entirely the possibility of an unconstitutional delegation of power.
		In the written dissent however, she began by stating the, "importance of this case to private property rights and the separation of powers between the judicial and legislative branches.
