Among the many dozens of Executive Orders and Memorandums issued by President Trump since January, many are aimed directly at reining in the regulatory state. Possibly the most important was issued last week.
In February, President Trump ordered all departments to identify any regulations that are unconstitutional, in conflict with rulings from the Supreme Court or whose harms outweigh their benefits. With a 60-day deadline fast approaching, a new memo was issued last week directing these agency heads to immediately get rid of offending rules.
The new executive order, “DIRECTING THE REPEAL OF UNLAWFUL REGULATIONS” (April 9, 2025), can and should be used to terminate straightaway the EPA’s endangerment finding (EF) for greenhouse gases, along with the more than 100 other regulations that attempt to solve a non-existent climate crisis.

Our comments over the last two years have been created with an eye to using recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings as the basis to repeal practically overnight each of these instances of crippling regulatory overreach.
