Executive order reversal wish list

It has been widely reported that Biden is going to hit the ground running.
This will include trying to reverse the damage that has been done because
of the previous administrations executive orders. There are so many.

A couple of reversals that I would like to see:

1) Make United States public lands public again. I don’t care if t**** sold off
parts of the Arctic circle for oil exploration. Take it back.
Remember t**** gave federal lands to Utah, take it back.

2) De-politicize those parts of the GSA that are being changed, and make it civil service again.

I could write a book. So much destruction, so little time. You have any?

can be revoked by the stroke of a new pen.

Our chelonian Senate, where House legislation went to die, in large part enabled ether effort to rule by decree. Short-sighted; laws are harder to reverse than executive orders.
