Obama declared this thro7gh executive action did he not? There was no legislation to repeal. Trump can throw it out can he not?

That's what I thought

Obama did it by fiat IIRC.

You'd think Trump could use an EO for a mandate to get what is right here.

Clinton and Obama ruled by EO's and they are upheld.

Trump tries it and they take it to the senate

Bizarre

How is this Constitutional. If they like the “rule”, then they should pass a law. It’s become an Oligarchy.

Remember, there are moons of Jupiter and / or Saturn with oceans of liquid methane. That is correct, you did not mis-read it, OCEANS of hydrocarbons. I sincerely doubt that ancient dinosaurs and savanna morphed into oceans of liquid methane out in space. Research ‘abiotic oil’ ‘abiotic petroleum’ and you will be amazed. While the jury may still be out on this theory, I always remind people that we have only drilled down a tiny distance into the Earth. We keep ‘finding’ and ‘developing’ more and more sources of oil and natural gas. I am beginning to think that we may never run out of energy. The next Ice Age is coming, and there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop the Great Cold. Now, how we deal with the cold is another matter. The EnviroNaziFascist Creepozoids will no doubt blame humanity and especially free enterprise, for the freezing ‘climate change.’ The pattern for the last many eons is 100,000 or so years of cold, with 10,000 to 15,000 years of warming. There are also ‘Little Ice Ages’ in between the longer stints of cold, when the Sun ceases much of its sunspot activity (which, by the way, is happening now). So, to return to the beginning, drill baby drill.

If Trump dissolved the BLM wouldn’t their regulations be dissolved also?

McCain has been challenged in the primaries for the last two senate elections. In both cases he managed to get 60 percent of the vote. Two out of five Republicans wanted him gone but the Democrat crossovers and the military vote kept him in office. Yes, the military vote. The REMFs and the hustlers and the Mormons who will vote for anyone with a military background.

How can these people get reelected! If you are going to vote against your own party, you are not part of the Conservative party. Mcain leans more left than right. These people are the reason things don’t get accomplished.

Lindsey Graham should be thrown out of office, this could cost South Carolina enormous amounts of money.

“While I am concerned that the BLM rule may be onerous, passage of the resolution would have prevented the federal government, under any administration, from issuing a rule that is ‘similar,’ according to the plain reading of the Congressional Review Act,” he said in a statement.

Meaning that you're too lazy to write enabling legislation for a better rule later, after this monstrosity was repealed. Thanks for nothing.

Good question, which, after a long lifetime of never missing a congressional election, I answered by sitting out the congressional portion of the 2016 election.

I haven’t read all of the posts to this thread, but so far, no one has pointed out that for practical purposes, Article I, Section 1, clause one, has been excised from the Constitution.

No regulation is law, and should not be honored as such.

McCain was traitorous to the GOP long before Obama came along.

How he keeps being elected is so far beyond me I doubt my ability for political discernment.
