This is an example of something I would support if it was done properly by passing a bill. You don’t just get to “decide” something is to be considered something else to get the outcome you want.

The ruling bases off the fact that the protection act already protects other invertebrates and so bees can be protected as well.

I’m thinking the end goal will be to declare California politicians as an endangered species as well since they too lack a spine.

Why not? Worked for gay marriage.

…that’s a positive mental attitude.

Have the bees decided to identify as fish?

I’m not opposed to bees being protected, for the record. The use of some pesticides has done a number on their population and we kinda need them.

I am opposed to changing laws by dictate to do things the original law never said.

There’s a process…. Use it or none of it means anything.

A bee is not a fish.

Totally agree

I guess progressive Democrats have entirely abandoned the mere concept of biology.

This is why we need the judicial system to be dominated by Ivy League professionals. It is above the common persons ability to understand why an insect is a fish, much like the common hoi polloi believe it is possible to determine if a person is a man or a woman.
They shouldn’t even be allowed to express an opinion. They are not trained.

And a fish is not an invertebrate.

is not a bee

What I don’t get is they couldn’t have simply amended the law to list bees as endangered in their own right do to articulated conditions and outcomes. After all it is a one party legislature and executive.

[Samm]

It’s a lot easier to just let a Judge make law.

[e7alr]

Actually it seems like a judge okaying an agency of the state’s executive branch to bypass the legislature.

[Samm]

Isn’t that what I said?

The Judge’s ruling made the Administration’s action law.

[Safiel]

I will let California slide on this one, since the Catholic Church seems to think Capybara are fish.

Tomato, tomahto, it is just wrong.

Joke’s on you. That’s exactly what happened.
