Thanks for a great post.
My only concern is that Trump's directive may be rather easily end-runned by simply combining language from two old regulations into one new one.
A little word-smithing and voila, Leviathan continues it's iron grip on Americans.

Thanks. I wouldn’t worry about that end-running. Remember that this directive he has signed doesn’t have the force of law. It’s a directive that he is giving to the executive branch. Anyone in his own bureaucracy who tries an “end-run” like the one you describe can be — and will be — overridden.

I don’t think or his appointees will suffer end-runs lightly.
