Court Removes Pendley

[R.K.]

Interesting, to say the least. I'll be curious how the appeal turns out.

Court removes Pendley from role as public lands chief

A federal judge on Friday ordered William Pendley to be removed as leader of the head of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a role that typically requires Senate confirmation.

"A federal judge on Friday ordered William Pendley to be removed as leader of the head of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a role that typically requires Senate confirmation.

Judge Brian Morris ruled that Pendley "served unlawfully as the Acting BLM Director for 424 days" and enjoined him from exercising the authority of the agency's director.

The ruling was issued in response to a lawsuit from Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) challenging Pendley's continued tenure and follows significant scrutiny from conservation groups."

Hopefully it will be upheld.

That last paragraph! I write my Idaho Senators about this stuff and I get replies that make me feel like I am the only one writing to them.
The idea that they might have whined to the administration that they are taking a beating for a WPP nomination makes me all fuzzy.

I’m glad to see that the interim title can’t be used to avoid senate confirmation.

The average republican voter that likes what trump is doing here needs to remember that he is setting a precedent and the pendulum keeps swinging further and further.
The confirmation is there for a reason.

I think it's evident people didn't like the 'pendulum's precedent' in '16.

And yet the party swallowed him without washing him down.

Here is to all of the senators who would choose to stand by and watch an important power get eroded away.
Who needs rules that avoid a monarchy!?

It's not important to convince me with condescending pejoratives, convince your fellow statesmen...

Its true. Harley was a pugilist. Here he is in action, right before Judge Bean hanged a guy.

Raph Graybill putting another notch in the win column.

Good riddance.

It was a slap in the face to even have him temporarily appointed. I hope who ever closes the toilet seat on him flushed twice to make sure.

If you think feral horses were going to be one of the highest priorities on Pendley‘a agenda, I suggest you invest heavily in Arizona’s beachfront properties.
I hear they are about to skyrocket in value.
