I believe there's a 60 day period before the "midnight" provisions become law, so if there's anything you want to stick after election day be sure to do it right after the election.
Unfortunately, Bush didn't get that memo.

I supported most of his policies...but some of his way of doing things was pretty slow.
Like, maybe he spent too much time down in College Station or something.

Are some of you still thinking that the National Parks ruling was reversed?

I posted much earlier in this thread part of an article from Fox News stating that the ruling had already taken effect and any attempt to reverse it would require starting the process over from the beginning.

If that isn't enough, this is from the NRA website:

While it is common for an incoming administration to make such an order, it does not appear that this action would affect the new parks rule.

The orders outlined in Emanuel's memo would suspend or delay three kinds of rules:

1. Proposed and final regulations that have not yet been submitted for publication in the Federal Register;

2. Proposed and final regulations that have submitted, but have not yet been published; and,

3. Final rules that have been published, but have not yet taken effect.

The new parks rule does not fall into any of these categories. The rule was published in December 2008, and took effect on January 9, 2009. To repeal the rule, the new leadership at the Interior Dept. would have to publish a new proposed rule, take public comment on it, and eventually publish a new final rule.

That action is certainly not out of the question--in fact it would come as no surprise if the anti-gun Obama administration attempts to repeal the rule. Of course, NRA-ILA would strenuously oppose and fight against any such attempt.

We will continue to closely monitor the situation and report on any developments as they happen.
Of course, it could happen but it hasn't happened yet. The process to change it now will take as much time as it took to implement thus rule, excepting the extensions for further input.
