Aunty M - The folks I mentioned in my post are the only ones who CAN introduce a bill in Congress, because they are Congressional representatives. To be clear, I was referring to Doc Hastings, Chair of the Natural Resources Committee in the House, and a strong opponet of dam breaching. Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell are well known on the Senate side.

I was not referring to the God Squad. The God Squad is a non-starter since NMFS has NOT said that Pacific salmon cannot avoid jeopardy (extinction) on the Columbia. In fact, they've said the opposite. Extinction can be avoided if we follow their plan (biological opinion). Even if Judge Redden tosses out the plan, it doesn't mean it goes to the GS. That just means they need a better plan. It would only go to the GS if NMFS determines that extinction is likely, regardless of the plan.
