#1 Read an article yesterday (sorry - no link)referring to an law passed at Gingrich's behest back when he was in Congress that allows Congress to nullify administrative regulations - some indication that EPA, DoE and Education's magnum opi were being considered for a first pass by the new Congress. Once passed, Trump's signature would be all that was needed to roll them back.

#4 You would think that after the fiasco of Obama's 8 years that Congress would rein in the authority *they have granted* to administrative agencies.

#5 Ignacia Moreno, who was assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division

So an Obama apparatchik says... Well, okay, I guess that settles it.

#7 Lots Trump can do since environmental law is not in the constitution. Day 1 shut down EPA. Day 2 announce he will not enforce any regulations. Day 3 pass out pardons and reduce existing fines to zero......

#8 Tell Congress up front, NO omnibus funding bills. Then just veto any Department or agency funding. Compromise or starve.

#9 The guy crossed his facts. Regulations, placed by executive order or any other means than a law can be removed Jan 21st. The professor is dead wrong.
