Reply to comment by SlurpinAnalGravy in US puts Italy-sized chunk of Gulf of Mexico up for auction for oil drilling by capcaunul

"TL;DR", indeed. You didn't read it; this is Biden's Interior Department doing this, not Congress.

Read all the comments before commenting yourself, it will save you a lot of headache and me time.

I did. You're still wrong. Congress has no power of prior restraint in preventing Interior from issuing resource extraction permits. Your desperate attempt at partisanship is transparent.

If you're unhappy with people pointing this out, correct your comment. That's all it takes.

You really didn't then. The Director of the BLM is a permanent position that reports directly to Congress. Congress directly overseas their funding and what projects within the BLM's scope are funded. I even listed the reports and FORM NAMES that the BLM has to submit in reports to Congress.

If you're unhappy with people pointing out your lack of reading comprehension, keep your mouth shut. That's all it takes.
