Congress needs to remove the lower courts from jurisdiction over this.

Trump’s very first action during his first hour of his first day in office should be to immediately revoke all executive actions taken by Obama after the date of the election.

Trump can then revoke the remainder of Obama’s executive actions at a more leisurely pace (during the first month or so).

That’s what he’ll do and he won’t tip his hand. Just place his soldiers in key spots just like these appointments recently and he’s ready to go. I’m guessing by the time the Marine One pilot turns on the engine for his last flight out, Trump will start revoking most of them...

It can be a major problem.

There will be lawsuits in Federal Court saying decisions to reverse the ban will damage the environment. The courts are more than likely going to agree that the environment will be safer with a complete ban.

This happened to Bush. Clinton issued executive orders resulting in massive increases in acreage in National Parks and Wildlife areas, and the courts would not let Bush reverse the decision even though it was just an executive order and not a law.

Trump may be able to reverse some the executive orders, but it’s going to take Congress passing laws to reverse a lot of them, and then you have Dems that will filibuster in the Senate.

Sounds like a plan with a little editing:

Trump’s very first action during his first hour of his first day in office should be to immediately revoke all executive actions taken by Obama after the date of the election.

Trump can then revoke the remainder of Obama’s executive actions at a more leisurely pace (during the first monthnext day or so).
