and you know she complains about the price of gas...

I guess there will never be an explaination of the legal rationale that a judge can make such a ruling? Does Bush not have the authority to overturn an Executive Order of a prior President? How is an ex-President's EO above the current President?
To: george76
Judges cannot legally 'overturn' laws or reinstate statues.
If a question arises as to it's constitutionality, they can only refer it back to Congress to be redressed.
This judge, and many like others, are trying to make law from the bench.

Not sure about this ruling, but I do have one concern about drilling in a roadless area and that is accidents. A forest fire occurs, and the well and rig explode. How other than through the air do rescuers respond to a big crude oil fire?
This is probably not the reason behind the rule, but safety should dictate that there should be a reasonable way for emergency evacuation and emergency response to a site drilling a flammable and toxic material.

An executive order issued by a Democrat President is almost on a par with constitutional law and therefore obviously should overrule any subsequent executive order issued by a Republican President. If we have another Democrat President then naturally their new executive orders will automatically be allowed to remove any prior Republican rulings. The job of a Democrat Judge is to guarantee that the Democrat party rules and as such their is no need for a judge's rulings to have any rational basis in law.

...or a congress.

- As far as I know, drilling companies are already liable for any and all damage they cause, including reclaiming the land disturbed by their activities.
- This is about gas drilling, not oil.
- The vast majority of forest fires are caused by lightning, followed by arson, campfires, cigarettes, vehicles, etc.. Drilling rigs don't explode and burn forests down.

Whoopee! said Sloan Shoemaker, executive director of the Carbondale-based Wilderness Workshop, calling the ruling a second step in LaPortes September judgment.
The Clinton Roadless Rule said you can get the natural gas out, lease these areas, but you cant disturb the surface of them, he said. Weve always said the same thing.
These liberals like to see the forests burn...really.

It was in response to his question: How other than through the air do rescuers respond to a big crude oil fire?

How do you know these are just natural gas leases? It says "minerals leases."

U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth D. LaPorte - She evidently has never read the Constitution. But then what does it matter for a anti-Aemrican left-wing Democrat.
