My point certainly is taken to an extreme precisely because I believe continued discussion on the Boldt Decision or the Medicine Creek Treaty is so very counterproductive. The Boldt Decision is the law of the land, the odds of ever changing it are extremely long so we had better learn how to live with it. If anyone believes that the Boldt Decision will be overturned or even substantially weakened then I need some of their stuff at 4:20!!! We can talk about what the treaties really mean or intended until the cows come home - it doesn't matter. The Boldt Decision has interpreted the language and been upheld as the law of the land. If you have passion about protecting the salmonid resource you would be more effective working at something other than an overturn or reinterpretation of the Boldt Decision. My .02 for what its worth. And for better or worse, the Supreme Court agrees.
