Our Constitution dictates strict limits on executive power. This is not just an academic concept, but a fundamental safeguard of the very liberty that people have sacrificed their lives to secure. It is this very liberty that our country’s judicial system was created to protect. And it is this very liberty that Trump cannot dismantle through sheer bombardment alone. While Trump’s rapid-fire pace of churning out harmful executive orders may be daunting, Friends of the Earth believes that our shared fight for environmental and social justice means we stay united and grounded within the rule of law and our Constitution. https://foe.org/blog/resisting-the-onslaught-of-trump-executive-orders/ (fb)

Since his inauguration, we have seen a record flurry of Trump Executive Orders, issuing directives to expand oil and gas handouts and eliminate environmental protections. Trump can rest assured: Friends of the Earth will see him in court for taking unlawful actions, including streamlining dirty industry deals and eliminating environmental protections. We will continue staunchly opposing any more rollbacks of our bedrock environmental laws, inside and outside the courtroom. And we will continue saving animals from extinction by supporting and enforcing the Endangered Species Act. (fb)
