I think they want to put these EOs in place and then when Trump goes to rescind them they will scream bloody murder that he’s willfully wrecking the environment.

"So if they in some weird way manage to take the power over those lands away before Trump gets in office they will then have to pass a law saying those lands are off limits."

To pass a law requires the signature of the President of the United States. That would be Pres. Trump.

I think Obama will try to run again in 2020. I think that’s permissible. Be the Putin of America. Sure.

Step 1. Get nominee on SCOTUS. Step 2. Trump’s solicitor goes in front of SCOTUS. Step 3. Trump wins....again. Step 4. Drill Baby Drill

I would not be so sure. Even after Scalia is replaced we are essentially back to the same SC makeup that thought ObamaCare was constitutional.

The 22nd Amendment limits Obama to the two terms he has already served.

We have never had a civil war in this country and I hope abuses like this Obama decree does not start one.

We had the War Between the States, the Civil War, between 1861 and 1865.

“We had the War Between the States, the Civil War, between 1861 and 1865.”

What is frequently called the “Civil War” was not. A civil war is a war within a country.

Lincoln’s War was a war between two countries - the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.

He has not learned that an EO can be overdone. A legacy is when you get a proper law passed by Congress.

All civil wars involve two political entities emerging from one.

They compete and battle with each other until one wins.

Thus it has always been.

Civil wars always involve territory held by each respective entity.

These entities can call themselves anything they want, including “country”.

It does not preclude the fact they were part of one political entity, and have broken away to form a new one.

A similar case can be made for the American Revolution as being a civil war.
