Ed BerryGUEST
Furthermore, that Hale versus Montana lawsuit, is a word-for-word copy of the same kind of lawsuit that I defeated in Montana Supreme Court in 2011.
Ed BerryGUEST
And it could have been easily defeated.
Ed BerryGUEST
It could have probably been thrown out

Travis MateerGUEST
Um, I have a 10 year restraining order, uh, that was put into effect a couple of months ago by a state legislator and it's on appeal.
Travis MateerGUEST
I'm working on an appeal at the Montana Supreme court, but, um, it's been very interesting to see, uh, how much attention I've gotten because, uh, I'm a bit retarded in naming names.
Travis MateerGUEST
I just do it because I'm, I'm like, I, I lost the fear, um, to a certain extent, some of the consequences, but, um, Um, so for example, someone like Detective Guy Baker, someone I've been talking regularly about, and I feel comfortable saying that here because he's in a book about Missoula by John Krakauer.
Travis MateerGUEST
So Detective Guy Baker is no, um, he's no, you know, stranger to, to attention.
Hal HerringGUEST
I know people who opposed stream access law before that, old timers, who told me that was what tilted them in favor.
Hal HerringGUEST
