We are pursuing a lawsuit against the Governor

[WWC]

This is a very disappointing  judgement from Judge Indu Thomas Thurston County Superior Court. We just received our copy as the court takes about a week to post it.

Refusing to issue a writ of mandamus to the governor is ridiculous. He is clearly ignoring the RCWs of the state and the court should compel him to comply. Terrible ruling. I'd like to know how this judge has ruled on other cases involving hunting, wildlife conservation, and animal rights.

Steve Rinella on the lastest Meat Eater podcast Episode "Inslee is my new least favorite governor in the US"

It sounds like they're going to be putting together an entire episode dedicated to WA hunting issues.

This podcast with Randy Newberg, Kris Cantrell and James Forslund was pretty good.

So what happens now?  Is there a next move?

There are other lawsuits through different org’s that are still in motion.

[Special T]

Judge Thomas was appointed by Inslee  to a newly created 9th seat on the county supreme court in 2021. Her background is family law and if you are in Thurston county with a hint of marital trouble move. Men do not fair well before her.
She ran for a judge seat in 2012 and lost to Eric Prince for position#4. This feels like a gut punch  that has political fingerprints all over it. Politics is a full contact sport, and a gut punch knocks the wind out of you but doesn't end a fight.

Is there a next best step for the WWC in this or does this mean they’re done?

From what I heard the lawsuit cant be appealed but I think this could really damage them beyond the point of return. I hope not but you never know.

That's a really good question. The case was dismissed with prejudice which I belive means it cannot be refiled. Can it be appealed? 

The fact is even the legal system is political and since when you sue the state it has to be done in TCSC which is the politicians home court advantage.
