Editor s Note: On March 16, Gov. Greg Gianforte announced that all Montana residents over age 16 will be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine starting April 1.
For UM junior Esther Lyon-Delsordo, the only silver lining to contracting the coronavirus in December was knowing the week of fatigue and headaches would end with at least some type of immunity from the disease.
But even then, Lyon-Delsordo knew the immunity would be short-lived.Â
âI actually felt a little bit safer the past three months,â Lyon-Delsordo said. âBut moving forward, my antibodies are supposed to be gone. Iâve had to feel a little more diligent about wearing masks and social distancing everywhere.â

HELENA â A legal challenge to Senate Bill 140, which gives the governor broader powers to appoint state judges, has been filed one day after Governor Greg Gianforte signed the bill into law.
SB140 eliminated the Judicial Nomination Commission and gives the governor of Montana the ability to directly appoint state district court judges and Supreme Court justices upon vacancy.
A petition to the Montana Supreme Court filed Wednesday argues the new law is unconstitutional.
Those challenging the law are former Republican Secretary of State Bob Brown, former Democratic State Rep. Dorothy Bradley, former Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Chairman Vernon Finley, 1972 Constitutional Convention delegate Mae Nan Ellingson and the Montana League of Women Voters.

Election Integrity and the Threat of HR1, Natelson Weighs In
I ve been getting your emails and your phone calls into our statewide radio show, and the message is clear: Montanans want to focus on election security and election integrity, especially after the shenanigans we saw in the 2020 elections in parts of the country.
Montanans are also very concerned about HR1, the proposed federal takeover of our elections in the wake of COVID-19. This bill is seen as an attempt to make permanent some of the shenanigans that occurred in the 2020 elections.
What s the threat of HR 1 and what actions need to be taken in order to secure election integrity in this country? We ll talk about that and more with former University of Montana Constitutional law professor Rob Natelson on Wednesday s Montana Talks statewide radio show from 9-10 a.m. Natelson heads up the Constitutional Studies Center with the Independence Institute in Denver.
