Mr. Obama is desperate to try to lock in his policy so his successor will have a tougher time undoing it.

Tougher politically maybe, but not legally. It's just an EO. All the new guy needs to undo it is a pen. Doesn't even need a phone.

In fact, I've posted that I think the new guy, whomever it may be, should take a VERY aggressive stance toward BO's EO's. He should state publicly that because it's so well known how badly he abused them, that rather than reviewing them on a case-by-case basis with possible retraction (which gives BO the presumption of validity), that they'd be undone in masse, with a review in case a few were VALID, then they'd be reinstated. That would cause explosions of liberal heads throughout the land, and would actually be better for the public, so it's not just symbolic.

That would a great thing to see, all those lib heads exploding.

He should have the EO rescinding all of Obama s EO s on a clipboard proffered by his chief of staff for signature before the hand shakes and hugs following the oath of office

Good plan. Thank you for Still Thinking
