Permit approved, illegally reversing factual determinations without sufficient support by subsequent administration, resulting in the approved permit being struck down by the courts, which was maintained through extensive litigation after the initial decision.
Permit reapproved by executive order bypassing the environmemtal and procedural law constraints that resulted in the previous approval being revoked.
Permit rerevoked by executive order undoing the previous order.
Its certainly not a history that inspires trust in institutions generally, but focussing on the last step for that criticism is...bizarre.
So the sequence of events here was:
Permit denied in normal administrative course.
Permit approved, illegally reversing factual determinations without sufficient support by subsequent administration, resulting in the approved permit being struck down by the courts, which was maintained through extensive litigation after the initial decision.
Permit reapproved by executive order bypassing the environmemtal and procedural law constraints that resulted in the previous approval being revoked.
Permit rerevoked by executive order undoing the previous order.
Its certainly not a history that inspires trust in institutions generally, but focussing on the last step for that criticism is...bizarre.
