With yesterday’s decision, President Obama has all but publically confirmed that the rule of law is a circumstantial entity that can be enforced or ignored when it suits his political will.
Assistant Secretary of the Army Jo-Ellen Darcy, essentially admitted in her memorandum that she was writing new regulations:
The “circumstances” the Obama Administration is referring to are the months of illegal and violent protesting his administration emboldened, uninformed celebrity endorsements, and an anti-industry legacy at stake. The administration has failed present any logical, factual, environmental, or scientific reasoning for the easement not to be issued and have resorted to ambiguity to mask a solely political agenda.
