Obama is setting it up so that every action taken to open up energy development in the US will be challenged in court. Trump can overturn this decision anyway, but the lawsuits will fly. Trump probably will need Congress to repeal or limit the 1953 law.

Trump can and will reverse all of this. EO’s are easy. This 1953 law will be a bit more difficult. Trump will be depicted as a nature and environmental hater while he’s at it.

Nope. Sorry but this is Fake News. There is no ability in the law for a President to obligate future Presidents via EO.
Doubtlessly they think they can do it but because they THINK they can does not mean they actually have the legal authority. A Judge, and their will be immediate lawsuits, can rule against him. I think O and his admin hold the record for the number of times the Judiciary has overturned their executive overreach.
In addtiional there is the little problem that Congress can simply repeal the potion of the law they attempt to abuse and render him void.

Maybe. Unless he's already being depicted as a war monger, hater of women, despiser of the poor, ignorant vulgarian and incompetent. Scott Walker showed you can overload the left. He started in on all sorts of other stuff during the Act 10 fight. Trump has the will and the ability to take it national.

He should just respond the way California’s governor did for homo marriage. The oil companies should sue, and Trump should order DOJ not to fight.

ANY Fed law that gives activists the right to sue ought to be repealed.

>i>There is no provision in the law that allows the executive's successor to repeal the decision,
Sounds like a potential SCOTUS case.

Or maybe we can just pass the “Repeal Everything Obama Ever Did Act of 2017”.

Lawsuits may fly, but so will activist judges.
