...so new theories for us then, just crossed fingers?

You don't HAVE to be an attorney to understand and even create your own legal arguments cfm, as you well know. You and others have done an awesome job of doing exactly that around here for years...

...but, in this case you are all shooting the equivalent of legal airballs. I don't believe it takes an attorney to understand that the wdfw was perfectly within their jurisdiction to enact this decision.

No one, to my laymens eye, has provided any valid argument to the contrary.
