The Ultimate Winner
Trump can not redesignate the land by himself. He needs Congress. Congress gave the duty of naming National Monuments to the Presidents and only Congress can change that. Trump's EO only orders a study to be made and that it be given to Congress as a guide of recommendations.If you want to change the law, go for it. Of course, that is not likely to happen. Most states do not have huge portions of public lands in their boundaries, but they enjoy the benefits of being part owners. It is unlikely that those states will want to hand over all those resources and wealth to a handful of big western states.110 years, never been done.Baloney, your drama is almost amusing. Changing a designation is not a disrespect it is an examination to see if there is too much government overreach.
So, aren't you a progressive? 100 years ago there was no gay marriage, 100 years ago we had no cell phones.
Times change for the better and we just roll with it.
If Trump re-designates the land in question, then we don't need to change the law. If you don't like the idea that Trump will determine the fate of the land, I suggest you change the law.
The trump cult is celebrating and cheering trump an EO regarding National Monuments, but they don't even know what it says or might do. It is like many of trump's EO's, talk with no walk.
We can hope that Congress goes along with him.
