Reid should have removed it entirely when it was clear like 30 minutes into Obama's Presidency that the Republicans were going to vote no to everything

Oh yea on Monday Trump revoked a rule that protected hibernating bears and wolf cubs from being hunted. They're now fair game and can be hunted from helicopters because.

i've not kept up with this with everything else, what does this mean? I know that Sessions wanted to stop doing that whole "oversight of state and local LEO agencies due to blatant civil rights violations"

did Baltimore PD say that no, they actually want that?

Both parties (DoJ and Baltimore/Baltimore PD) already agreed/committed to the decree, including a post-inauguration reaffirmation of the decree by DoJ. All that was left in the legal proceedings was for the judge to decide whether or not it was fair to the parties and the public. The judge decided the decree was fair to the parties and the public and approved it.

Here's the judge's order.

Isn't that just for within the State of Alaska AND on protected (State/Federal) lands? And includes allowing the gassing of hibernating bears with cubs and wolves with pups in dens. The kicker is that Alaska has some of the best conservation laws while being pretty drat hunter friendly.

The law is incredibly reprehensible either way.

Yea Alaska only. I wonder if Alaska has any room to counter-act the rule change.

Screeching "STATE'S RIGHTS" like any good Red State? Probably can't do much since so much State land is becoming jointly run with the Feds, so Federal laws will override. But I'm no legal beagle, so someone who knows what they're talking about can chime in and let us know.

Speaking of the Cliven Bundy gang, their second trial is wrapping up.

I still can't believe they led a armed occupation of US Government property, and they stand a good chance of walking away scott free.

Yes, but the problem is that Alaska won't. Generally the Fed manages for biodiversity, Alaska manages for hunting. Alaska wants to control predator populations to increase the numbers of game animals.

Rule changes only take a simple majority, so it wouldn't make a difference. If the other party is an incoming majority they can change it right back in the next session and (justifiably) point out the rules fuckery from the outgoing party.

I'm just getting really weird 90s deja vu.

Like, this is something right out of the Clinton administration except not. Even down to the response used (side note: I think all the cruise missile file footage was also dating from the 90s).

It'd help if Trump had a firm policy, and he did as of 72 hours ago, like Clinton had throughout his Presidency (except if genocide happened in Africa, then welp). But Trump is a reactionary man-baby who's about to get pulled into a quagmire.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

The murder trial of the freshman that shot a bunch of kids and killed one at NAU last year is currently streaming and it's weird as gently caress to watch folks that I know or have seen before testify on a live stream on the interwebs.

And I'm once more happy to see that the majority of college kids neither have complete mastery of their own loving language, nor that they think they should maybe wear something more appropriate than yoga pants in a court of law. :cripes:
