Biden should just get a top Constitutional Laywer and have him decree

that all those last minute Executive Orders and edicts made by Trump are not Valid.
Let people take him to Court to change that.
I mean Trump called in John (I like torture) Yoo to say what he was doing was legal.
So just have their own lawyers say different. And then go on and govern as if they didn't exist.

I forget the exact origin, but basically congress can over ride any rules issued in the last 90 days of an administration.

Since we control all three branches, that will be a slam dunk. The gop did that to obamas rules when trump was elected also.

As for exec orders, those are just that. biden can change any or all of them at will.

You can't just brush them aside. Except in the first 90 days.

And all of this may be moot if scotus ends up ruling that the exec branch does not have ANY rulemaking authority, and must merely implement laws as written by congress.

That will essentially nullify every CFR on the books, and it is a real thing espoused by reich wing jurors.

Anything Rump signs as an executive order can be reversed instantly with a stroke of Biden's pen.

There's a lot of Executive orders that need to be reversed. Me, my hand would start cramping after the first hour

There’s nothing to go to court about.

Biden’s team has been hard at work identifying actions that can be taken on day one to reverse Trump.
