I'm not an attorney so this topic is not within my area of oil & gas expertise. I'm posting because I thought it was interesting and had good multiyear context.

Trump can rightfully claim that Biden wasn't competent when he signed it, nor did he know what he was signing | |||

Exact point. New US Attorny General Bondi may very well to make this argument before the Supreme Court. | |||

To quote Robert Hur, “at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” | |||

It would be odd in the extreme, IMO, absent some specific wording in the enabling legislation, for some aspect of Presidential authority granted by statute to be deemed irrevocable and permanent. | |||

Do you have any evidence for this claim, or is this a talking point? It seems highly unlikely that a claim of incompetence is the best and most direct attack on previous decisions. Whether the relevant statute allows a reversal is probably a very complicated and technically intricate statutory analysis problem. I wouldn't dare answer without a fair degree of familiarity with the statute. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I noticed that President Trump didn't simply reverse the EO, he declared a national energy emergency first. Possibly this is the legal term needed to issue this EO? | |||

We lawyers like to think so. After all, we are paid based on our analysis of a question. However, we also know that the analysis changes based on who appointed the men/women in black robes. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

We have the house and Senate, vote to rescind the order, make a law permitting access to energy, allowing drilling offshore, in Alaska, the Canadian Pipelines, anywhere that has access to the vast stores of gas and oil in and around the US. It's time for R to stop pussy footing around, pass the legislation in the next two years that stops this back and forth crap on energy. It's vital to US security, and our financial well being as a country. Sometimes it seems as if Congress ignores passing legislation so things can remain campaign issues and controversial, guns, oil, LGBTQ, DEI, | |||

Just ignore it. Like Biden did with the border and the Constitution. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Sounds reasonable to me. That’s what Pelosi and Schumer would do. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Wouldn't the Solicitor General, rather than the Attorney General, be arguing this issue? | |||

Better than that: Trump: (looks at map) 'Can't find the Gulf of Mexico. How about we drill in the Gulf of America?' | |||
