National Public Lands Day is Saturday.


A federal judge on Friday blocked William Perry Pendley, the anti-public lands extremist who has overseen the federal Bureau of Land Management for more than a year, from continuing to lead the bureau.

U.S. District Judge Brian Morris in Montana ruled that Pendley has illegally served as acting director of BLM for more than 400 days.

The decision comes in response to a lawsuit filed in August by Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D), which argued that Pendley’s ongoing tenure violates the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. The act limits the amount of time Cabinet officials may serve in an acting role to 210 days.

“Today’s ruling is a win for the Constitution, the rule of law, and our public lands,” Bullock wrote in a Twitter response. “Montanans can rest easy knowing that National Public Lands Day will begin with William Perry Pendley packing his desk and vacating the Director’s Office.”
....................

A former property rights attorney who spent his career arguing that public lands should not even exist, Pendley has led the bureau since July 2019 via a series of controversial temporary reappointments. He’s overseen 245 million acres of federal land ― more than 10% of the entire U.S. landmass ― without ever having to face the scrutiny of a Senate confirmation process.

1. Damn! That's great. Doesn't Trump have a whole bunch of people in "acting" roles?

I could’ve sworn he does.

5. Frame this decision for the knuckleheads

Judge ousts chief of BLM!

It's not your fault that the knuckleheads will think it's Black Lives Matter and not the Bureau of Land Management.

[Mr.Bill]

6. And if he doesn't leave?

Nothing will happen. Nothing.

If he does leave, Trump will appoint someone who is far worse.

Sorry, I'm feeling pessimistic today.

7. Does this affect all the other "temporary" appointments Trump and the GOP made?

They just cheat, and take advantage of every little nuance, every little thing not codified into law and have no shame whatsoever.

Gandhi was eventually able to shame the British out of India, but these Republicans simply have no shame. They care less about how they look and so do most of their followers. The ones on their side that would care watch Fox and have no idea what's occurring.
