ZitatPresident Donald Trump exceeded his authority when he reversed bans on offshore drilling in vast parts of the Arctic Ocean and dozens of canyons in the Atlantic Ocean, a U.S. judge said in a ruling that restored the Obama-era restrictions.
Judge Sharon Gleason in a decision late Friday threw out Trump's executive order that overturned the bans that comprised a key part of Obama's environmental legacy.
Presidents have the power under a federal law to remove certain lands from development but cannot revoke those removals, Gleason said.
"The wording of President Obama's 2015 and 2016 withdrawals indicates that he intended them to extend indefinitely, and therefore be revocable only by an act of Congress," said Gleason, who was nominated to the bench by Obama.
A message left Saturday for the Department of Justice was not immediately returned.
So let me get this straight. Obama as president had the authority to impose the ban, but his successor does not have the authority to rescind the ban. Interesting legal reasoning that.
How can the Democrats say they support border security when they also advocate for sanctuary cities?

I find it difficult to determine whether such people are unwilling or unable to process reality.
Per post-modernism reasoning (and logic) are constructs of the toxic white male patriarchy and therefore of no value.
Isn't that convenient.
More and more I'm reminded of Bezmenov: " . . . They are contaminated; they are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind[s], even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words, these people... the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible . . ." Yuri Bezmenov 1984
