Amazing

So the Supreme Court hands the landowners along the Bitterroot River who blocked rightful recreational access for 15 years a complete rebuke and what do they do? Why they find a screw-his-constituents-first legislator to introduce a bill that undoes what the court just ruled.

While the bill has no, repeat NO chance of becoming law, it may help end once and for all all the whining about how the Mitchell Slough case was so complicated and the the poor landowners were just misunderstood. How they're just a bunch of noble ecological restorationists suffering at the envy of all those coveting what they've created. Well no, they're not. The Mitchell Slough case is what it has always been, just the latest round in the battle by the wealthy few to deny the constitutionally protected right for all Montanans to recreate in our public water ways.

The Governor will never sign this legislation, which has little chance to make it through the legislature anyway. But rest assured, these folks won't quit trying to deny Montanans their rights until the succeed.

It's time to decide: Are we with them, or against them?

UPDATE

Sen. Rick Laible now says he's sorry and is rewriting his bill, but he won't tell the truth about who wrote the first draft, which was essentially the argument recently made by landowners in the courts.
