Friends, we just surpassed 250 signatures in less than 24 hours. That is an impressive show of concern. I will send my third email to the AG’s office reporting on progress and ask for a response to our concerns. From what I can tell about the Supreme Court schedule, the WA State AG team is scheduled to present their case at 1pm Eastern (now). More information than anyone likely wants can be found here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/17-269.html Amica briefs etc. have been submitted by many parties supporting both sides ranging from individual tribes, to the Congress of American Indians, to former Governor Dan Evans, to building industry, State of Idaho, and many others. Justice Kennedy recused himself due to his participation in the decision being appealed when he sat on the 9th Circuit in an earlier phase of this dispute: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/17/17-269/39869/20180323153617321_Recusal%20Letter%20in%20No.%2017-269.pdf It is hard to determine what the AG’s office will do with our expression of opposition to their continued effort to appeal the lower court decisions, but it feels important that we express our deep concerns and they hear them. More later. Thank you all for signing and circulating this petition. The response has been overwhelming. In solidarity, Bill Moyer
