I haven't had a chance yet to check out the links provided by VP (I will when I am at home and on my own computer.), but I just wanted to just provide some historical context to support what VP said about whatever happens only lasting as long as this horrid administration.

When Pres. Bush replaced Clinton, one of the first things he did was put a freeze on every Executive order that Clinton put into place within a certain time period. This was because in the weeks leading up to Clinton's exit, he was putting in a flurry of executive orders, particularly to the EPA, in a manner similar (although admittedly not identical) to what is currently going on with the current crew. The Bush admin. took time to review every one of those rules/orders and undid many of them, to the wailing and gnashing of teeth of liberals who of course claimed that Bush wanted people to die of poisoning, etc, even though things simply reverted to what they had been for decades.

My point is that when we get, most likely, a conservative administration soon, it is very likely that the onerous and damaging rules and regulations currently being shoved down our throats in so many ways will be undone, at least as long as we get a conservative with backbone.
