Judge Dana Christensen is a Bammy Skidmark appointee. He considers himself a Federal judge-President, who makes law from the the Federal bench, in his own replica Oval Office inside his judge's chambers:

In late August 2018, Christensen placed a 14-day hold on grizzly bear hunting in Wyoming and Idaho after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lifted federal protections for grizzlies in Yellowstone National Park areas in 2017.

On September 24, 2018, Christensen released a 48-page ruling restoring the protections and cancelling the hunts altogether, citing that Fish & Wildlife's analysis of the threats to grizzly bears was lacking and that they "failed to make a reasoned decision" in considering the impact of delisting the Yellowstone grizzlies from protected species status.

Juck the fudge. He's a despotic Lefty authoritarian.

I notice they did not mention the Judge's name until way down the article, or who they were appointed by.

The grizzly decision was pure political activism on the part of the judge.
