I didn't...talking point for the pointed head crowd. Was he going to make a run at changing the wild horse and burro act? Nope...just lip service, best case.
There are appointment and confirmation rules for a reason...maybe the current administration should start proving they're the party of law and order...guess that's also a one way street.
Rather than appoint a new acting Director, Bernhardt will lead the BLM.
Pendley "will continue to serve in his leadership role.”

LAW AND ORDER!
can't wait to see what Bullock & Graybill do next to continue the ass-whipping they're giving the worst DOI ever.
I found a more legible version of the email I posted in the photo above.
Dear Colleagues,
I understand there may be some questions about the ruling on Friday regarding William Perry Pendley’s leadership role at the Bureau of Land Management. To clarify the situation, I want to share with you a statement from the Solicitor of the Department of the Interior Daniel Jorjani:
“The Department of the Interior believes this ruling is erroneous, fundamentally misinterprets the law and unreasonably attempts to up-end decades of practice spanning multiple presidential administrations from both parties. Nevertheless, the Department will comply with the Court’s Order, while we move forward with an appeal and review all other legal options.
The Bureau of Land Management has not had a Senate-confirmed Director of the Bureau of Land Management during this Administration, nor has it named an Acting Director. This is still the case in respect to this decision.
Consistent with the law, Secretary Bernhardt will continue to lead the Department and all of its bureaus, including the Bureau of Land Management. In so doing, he will continue to rely on the Bureau of Land Management’s superior management team, specifically including Deputy Director for Programs and Policy William Perry Pendley, who will continue to serve in his leadership role at the Bureau of Land Management. The Bureau of Land Management and all of its employees will continue to perform their important duties on behalf of the American people.”
Background Information Germane to this Case
Pursuant to Section 1 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 and its codification and affirmation post-Chadha by Congress in 1984, Congress statutorily transferred to the Secretary all functions of all officers, agencies, and employees of the Department (with minor exceptions set forth in Section 1(B)).
The Secretary may then delegate these functions as he deems best pursuant to Section 2.
It is of important historical context to note that previous administrations carried out similar actions in delegating the authorities of positions. The Department has used succession orders or redelegated authority for vacant non-career presidentially appointed and Senate-confirmed positions more than 180 times since 2000.
As stated above, Secretary Bernhardt leads the bureau and relies on the BLM’s management team to carry out the mission. Deputy Director for Programs and Policy, William Perry Pendley, will continue to serve in his leadership role.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
