Looks Like Judges in the Western States Want To Hold On To Their Jobs

This story is getting into the weeds, a lot more than I prefer, and to be honest, I don't understand the issue completely, but overturning BLM orders and hearing this from the energy industry, suggests this is going in the right direction:

A US district judge overturned two federal agencies’ 2010 orders limiting the use of categorical exclusions (CXs) for environmental reviews on federally managed lands. The court took the nationwide view on the basis that the instructions by the US Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service “constitute legislative rules adopted contrary to public notice and comment procedures required by law,” Nancy D. Freudenthal, chief judge for US District Court for Wyoming, said in her Aug. 12 decision.
“The judge’s ruling is a victory for responsible American energy development, and holds the promise of new jobs and economic growth,” Kathleen Sgamma, WEA’s government and public affairs director, said on Aug. 15. “With this nationwide injunction, we hope the government will return to using categorical exclusions to encourage domestic oil and natural gas production and cease requiring redundant environmental analysis that slows economic activity.”

Now, maybe we can get back to those shovel-ready jobs the president promised us.
