The rule of law is over. It died when Joe Biden pardoned Hunter. The charade is over.
Rule of law for some ... but not for others.
The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953 is just a law; not a Constitution.
Laws are written by Government.
Constitutions are written by the People to form a Government. No Constitution = No Goverment
The Rights of Man come from God.
The Rights of Government come from Man.
Men enumerate the Rights of Government in the Constitution.
Government is an instrument of the People to govern themselves.
If the People want to drill for oil and natural gas on the Outer Continental Shelf, the Government does not have the unilateral right nor the authority - independent of the will of a majority of the People - to deny them that opportunity in perpetuity without an amendment to the US Constitution.
Even the Constitution is changeable via the amendment process.
Laws are words on paper.
The will of the majority, with minority rights, is the will of the Federal Government of the United States of America.
Biden's crap has been via unilateral Executive mechanisms, not by a vote of Congress nor a vote by the People. One man does not have the Right to deny the will of the majority.
