Holly Doremus quoted by Los Angeles Times, Dec. 9, 2016

It probably is going to override” the act’s rules, said Holly Doremus. … Doremus said other parts of the new policy were contradictory and could spawn a barrage of lawsuits. “It is awfully messy. There will be a lot of litigation,” she predicted.
