.U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R) was an original co-sponsor of Rep. Chaffetz’s legislation to sell off more than 3 million acres of public lands to private interests
If Hillary had appointed someone anti gun to her cabinet, all of her supporters on here would be saying not to worry.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) will likely be tapped to lead the Department of the Interior, which oversees all of the U.S. public lands, including forest management, the Parks Service, and fossil fuel extraction.
McMorris Rodgers is strongly in favor of developing the United States’ fossil fuel resources. She has also opposed federal ownership of public lands and voted to make it more difficult for the president to create national monuments. McMorris Rodgers is the author of a bill that would have directed the Department of the Interior to sell off federal lands in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming.
The selection is not surprising, in what is shaping up to be the most anti-environmental administration — Republican or Democrat — in modern times. The Interior Department transition team has been led by Doug Domenech, the director of a pro-fossil fuels project at the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation.
Depends. Were they going to be appointed to Secretary of Guns, or were they going to be appointed to Secretary of Treasury.
Facts, and context matter, even when you are making up shit.
Don't worry, her patriots found the best deal ever on the internet to help it go smoothly.If Hillary had appointed someone anti gun to her cabinet, all of her supporters on here would be saying not to worry.

It will comply with all regs shortly.Is that environmentally friendly?
My thought is every single one of us better be contacting our senators and telling them to not confirm her.
She's pro-sale of public lands and anti-public involvement in planning.
So from what I've read, trump doesnt want to sell public lands. The potential SOI is big into resource exploitation. It seems to me that they plan on holding onto public lands but open them up to oil, natutal gas, timber, possibly coal. Maybe im thinking on the extreme end of things, but it looks like we could either lose our lands by selling to states /private, or keep them public but run into drilling/mining operations all over the place due to federal leasing programs. Seems like a lesser of two evils situation.
I'm not an expert on the confirmation process, but when trying to confirm Obama's judges, didn't the democratic controlled senate change the rule that only 50 votes are needed now instead of 60 to stop a filibuster? That was a very shortsighted thing to do and one that most political analyst said would come back to bite them. Needing 60 votes would be really nice right about now.
