The “National Monuments” law has been grossly abused by Bill Clinton and now Obozo.
It was never meant to lock up vast tracts of millions of acres. It was supposed to be for very focused, very limited actions, but ofc the Democraps abuse every law when they think they can get away with it.
Congress working with Pres. Trump should revise or repeal the legislation, in the process undoing Obama and Clinton actions that were way over the top (Clinton locked up a huge portion of southern Utah).
The BIG problem is, this can NOT be undone. W tried, but was told to go away by SCOTUS.
Clinton put one of the two known sources of “clean” coal out of reach of use by American companies in order to repay a Chinese/Indonesian merchant who owned rights to the other source of clean coal in Indonesia so that he could have a monopoly.
See my post 26. You are correct.
