Exclusive: Trump Admin Plans Overhaul of Endangered Species Act | RealClearPolitics
Trump has slashed and burned his way through much of the regulatory regime of his predecessor already, rescinding nearly 80 Biden-era climate-related orders during his first day in office alone. Overhauling the ESA would easily eclipse those efforts, changing the regulatory, and perhaps natural, landscape forever.
The proposed reform must still make its way through the federal rule-making process. Legal challenges are almost certain to follow, although a conservative Supreme Court may not be sympathetic.
Sweeping change would follow from redefining a single word: harm.
I can’t wait for all of the fuzzy baby seals begging for mercy. It’s a war against all of the critter puppies!
