The man who, as a pre-Senator private citizen, threatened to sue U.S. Fish and Wildlife if it gave the black-footed prairie dog Endangered Species Act protections, has delisted Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem wolves in Idaho and Montana.
Last year, the Bush Administration delisted both those wolves and the ones in Wyoming. The decision was later overturned by a federal judge.
In a half-victory at best, Salazar did not delist the Wyoming wolves, but wolves don’t read state line announcement signs.
Of course, one “Gang Green” national environmental group is already asking for money to fight the latest round of lawsuits; Gang Green, in general, welcomed Salazar’s nomination two months ago.
Other Gang Greeners have asked for more money to help Obama push his carbon-control agenda. What would they do if Dems had a filibuster-proof Senate majority?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
