Really appreciate the framing around that Absaroka-Beartooth court victory. The distinction between "restoration" and actually transforming wilderness to match human preferences is subtle but crucial, especially when agencies dress up active managment as conservation. What caught my attention is the multiple-front litigation strategy happening simultaneously, from Izembek to the Boundary Waters. Feels like there's a shift happening where the judicial branch is becoming the primary battleground for wilderness protection rather than legislative action. I've been following the Mike Lee border bill thing and it's wild how border secuirty rhetoric gets weaponized to justify infrastructure that has nothing todo with actual border enforcement.
