Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Tuesday he will issue a new order imposing a moratorium on deepwater drilling after a federal judge struck down the existing one.
Salazar said in a statement that the new order will contain additional information making clear why the six-month drilling pause was necessary in the wake of the Gulf oil spill. The judge in New Orleans who struck down the moratorium earlier in the day complained there wasn't enough justification for it.
Salazar pointed to indications of inadequate safety precautions by industry on deepwater wells. "Based on this ever-growing evidence, I will issue a new order in the coming days that eliminates any doubt that a moratorium is needed, appropriate, and within our authorities."

The Chief Judge of Martin Feldman's district is Sarah Vance, a Clinton appointee.
She's also a native Louisianan, so I guess her influence in this matter is a coin-toss.
I myself am looking for a stronger word.
I don’t understand how Bo can give anyone any money to do not to do something isn’t it congress job to give money away?
And they think the judge has a “conflict of interest” just because he owns $15,000 in oil stocks? But it is NOT a conflict of interest that George Soros owns $900 million dollars in Petrobras stock-which is the Brazilian oil company that the rigs would be sent to?? Are you fricking kidding me?
I saw him say this on Hannity about an hour ago. I was stunned. This is a democrat saying this.
I am so glad that people are starting to see this administration for what it is - a mess! I hope they remember in 2012.
In about 5 months.
That is all that counts.
No that is NOT all that counts. You are aware of the three branches of government, aren't you? 0bama's "will" doesn't entitle him to tell the judicial branch to stuff it, my way or the highway.
They are above the law...don’t you know?
Won’t hold water. The MMS has already inspected them and passed them all. How can they say that the regulations THEY set in place and inspections THEY say were passed are now somehow inadequate?
Just what does that idiot think we can run Airplanes on windmills?

I read the opinion. Salazar would have to show how each and every deep water rig poses a imminent threat. The judge stated that the blanket moratorium was arbitrary and capricious. I think Salazar would have to give specific information on each rig.
Sorry to tell you this, MPLS, but “O” has appointed “Czars” to take charge of everything imaginable. (With HUGE salaries). They were not approved nor were they appointed nor voted in.....it’s HIS choice - and the three branches of government will sit there with a ‘Pelosi/Reid’ and democrat/liberal Congress, approving everything ‘he’ does. We are now in the bottom of the hole in the outhouse, I fear.
They are already filled with their Boyfriends’ things!
No. Sitting in the white hut doesn’t mean you have the right to destroy the country. Screw the law.
Ya say you wanna revokution, well, ya knowwww, we’d all love to see the plan.
Merely following nobama's orders to bankrupt the USA.
Having these people in charge is like smashing your hand with a hammer: it feels good when it stops.
Inevitable.
The judge property smacked them all down for fabricating their facts & waaatyyyy over reaching their legal authority.
Now they have to judge shop for the appeal.
Nobody could seriously think BO believes in following court orders. We only have 1 branch of government now.
