   delay tacticsThe US FWS employs lots of good, dedicated biologists who must be at least as miserable about this as any of us layfolk.  But will they be able to find a public voice of protest, soon?

   Lawsuit... But will they be able to find a public voice of protest, soon?
   From what I understand, there is a lawsuit in the works to make the government announce a decision.
   As to whether or not that'll make it happen "soon" is anyone's guess.

   delay and obfuscationit's just like every other decision lately by the current administration. Delay as long as possible and then come out with the decision that harms the environment, based on faulty logic. Usually in direct opposition to the hard working scientists within the agencies involved.  Sound familiar, California Air pollution CO2 would-be regulators?
   Oh, and meanwhile, continue with federal business as usual, in this case selling more oil leases in the habitat area of the threatened polar bears.

   LawsuitA lawsuit from those tree-hugging environmental wackos doesn't bother Dirk Kempthorne. He will take his time and go by the facts to render the right decision.

   delay and obfuscationGet those oil leases sold ASAP. The Polar Bear don't need the oil anyway.
