Are there any ramifications of theSCOTUS arguments today, in terms of federal court decisions?

Yeah, I think the likelihood of the Court banning nationwide injunctions against the administration from lower courts will definitely impact the fight against executive orders and other similar actions. Should the public lands sell off pass in the budget resolution, it could also combine with measures to limit legal challenges in that.

How does the citizenry of Montana feel about private acquisitions of the public lands there?

Generally pretty pissed. But like anywhere else right now, we have a problem with low information voters falling for fascist propaganda.

We have the same problem in CO District 4. I get discouraged sometimes with just not knowing how to fight that. You can give them numbers and facts, but it’s like talking to a wall

Zinke used to fly his own flag when in DC and also ok’d lead shot back on public lands, didn’t he?

Yeah, he commissioned his very own Zinke flag, and made his staff raise and lower it any time he entered or left DOI HQ.

The lead thing is a little more nuanced. But yes, he did halt a bad on lead ammo for hunting.
