America’s toing and froing over whether or not grey wolves should have endangered species status is beginning to resemble a particularly farcical waltz. With both dancers thinking they’re leading the resulting spinning and movement might afford watchers some interest but it’s truly going nowhere.

After the US Fish and Wildlife Service took the wolves off the list environmentalists sued and a judge put them back on. Now Ron Gillett, of the Idaho Anti-Wolf Coalition, wants to put the matter before voters although there’s some debate about whether Idaho can trump federal laws in this matter (Magic Valley Times-News).

“We are very pleased this liberal judge did what he did,” Ron Gillett told the Lewiston Tribune (via AP). “Now it will be all-out war.”

A video posted to youtube by pro-wolfers contains a man alleged to be Gillett saying, “I am so sick of hearing biology and science and all that” at a meeting in April.
