what the author stated, "The recently-introduced bill would block any further court reversals of wolf management by prohibiting “judicial review” of the reissued rules."Let the lawsuits begin!
"The reason the state is included in the bill may be preemptive—anti-hunting groups have recently initiated a lawsuit seeking to relist wolves in the Northern Rockies."Wyoming being part of this is really confusing to me.

Tammy Baldwin co-sponsoring is a *huge* deal. She's basically spent her career in the Senate laying pretty low, she's never stuck her neck out for anything, and for lack of a better description, as a progressive lesbian from Madison, this signals they can get more support for this bill. I would guess they'll get every congressional vote in Wisconsin (maybe not Pocan), remains to be seen if the Dem house members in Minnesota/Michigan/other states would go along enough to pass. If we're at $6-8 gas this summer, vulnerable Democrats in rural states with wolves/wolf adjacent(that aren't retiring) are going to begging for cross aisle things to pass.Here's the text of the bill: https://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/services/files/26E771C4-8FEB-4E5E-B3D3-C84BD9F7B059
Near as I can tell, the language of this bill is solid, but I can't see it passing the House this year unless vulnerable Dems get how this can help them.
These bills don't keep the wolf from being relisted if states fail to follow through on their end of the deal, so it keeps that vital level of protection for all species without singling out one species.
The effect of passage is the opposite.Let the lawsuits begin!

The US senate in the upper midwest was always supportive of wolf management legislation, I'm thinking Franken and Klobuchar. I doubt the bill will come close to passing, more than likely won't even see it's way to the floor. I'd think most Dems would lose more votes voting for, not many Dem congressional districts are adversely affected, best to kick it on down the road.Tammy Baldwin co-sponsoring is a *huge* deal.
