From article:
Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho, told Fox News in an email Thursday that anyone familiar with the "eco-terrorist practice" of tree-spiking does not consider Stone-Manning "exceptionally qualified."
"When Idahoans hear someone who conspired with tree spikers is the administration’s pick to lead the largest land management agency in America, they are rightfully appalled. Conspiring with tree spikers is not a mistake," Risch said. "A mistake is opening the sock drawer in the morning and pulling out two socks that don’t match. When you knowingly, willfully, intentionally, with malice and forethought, attempt to take someone else’s life – that’s not a mistake."

Let the D.C. Swamp creature know you oppose her confirmation!

I’m not sure sending a letter on someone else’s behalf makes her a terrorist.
Maybe just an eco-terrorist sympathizer ?

I forgive her for her part in the timber wars. That was 30 years ago... it's probably time to let go of that. I'm pleased that she's a hunter and has spent decades hunting and recreating in the west.

It was probably forgivable 20 years ago....she was an undergrad at UM when all this went down in the late 80's... she's not exactly an eco terrorist.

Scary, I have not seen them but have a pile of buddies that feed their families by working in the woods and have probably encountered it. Luckily, most logging is mechanized now and it wouldn't be as likely to injure anyone. Equipment repairs would be costly thoughSpeaking as a retired logger I doubt there was ever much danger to loggers from spiked trees. The real danger was presented in the mill when a saw blade or chipper head came into contact with a spike.

:yeah: Exactly, that has happened in the mills and it's not good on equipment, and potentially very dangerous for anyone nearby.

fairly certain they use metal detectors before the debarker, I know Dad grumbled a lot when trees got culled for metal in them.
something about (#&$& kids and tree forts :peep:

Hopefully more people will come forward and testify.
I don’t know anything about this lady, but be careful what you wish for because the next nominee could be worse.

Anyone pounding spikes in trees is a idiot and not a environmentalist.
Hopefully more people will come forward and testify.

Testify to what?? This was over thirty years ago. This is just due diligence and folks looking for dirt on an appointee

I don't give Chipman a pass for WACO
I don't give Garland a pass for his "decisions"
With so many well qualified people, I expect the best, not these people with baggage.
And I don't care right or left, nominees should be spotless

I don't give her a pass for spiking treesTo be clear- she didn't spike trees...she testified in a case that got others charged with spiking trees.

I agree that nominees should be a good fit, no one is spotless. IMO she is an improvement over Pendley, but maybe not 100% perfect. I think she will be good for hunters though.

She has zero experience running and managing a large organization but her left wing radical politics makes her unquestionably qualified to manage our public lands. She could not even qualify for a basic background clearance because of her terrorist ties and that would exclude her from many entry level govt jobs. . This is such crazy logic but normal these days. Just like BHA leadership pushing gun bans to help back country hunters.
talk about cognitive dissonance. :chuckle: :chuckle:

I agree with her politics so matter what crimes she committed I support and anyways Trump is to blame. The leader at conservation NW is also a self admitted eco terrorist and I imagine Mitch is a close friend of hers as they were members in the same terrorist organization.

Do you actually have evidence of BHA supporting gun bans? Would like to see that.

BHA, or the leadership involved with BHA?
Either I guess. I would like to see what initiatives they have put forth or statements they have made to show they are against gun ownership.
