Interior Dept. challenges drilling permit ruling, warns of delayed development
The Hill ^ | 3/05/11 | Ben Geman

The Obama administration delivered a warning late Friday to a federal judge who’s demanding Interior Department action on deepwater drilling permit applications: Be careful what you wish for.

The Interior Department challenged a Louisiana judge’s orders that require decisions on several industry applications later this month, warning that the court's mandate could force Interior to “deny the applications outright” and divert resources from review of other permit requests.

Interior appealed the orders late Friday and asked for a stay.

In their filing, Justice Department lawyers say that Judge Martin Feldman’s orders could thwart the “efficient development of oil and gas resources on the Outer Continental Shelf, as well as potentially harm the near-term interests of the operators who submitted the subject applications.”

Nobama through his useful idiots libs are overplaying their hand to biblical proportions. No doubt nobama’s boss sorass likes the US oil business hindered.

Just like in jimmah’s failed presidency, everything good for America will be on hold until this kenyan fool is thrown out just like carter.

Threatening the Judge while you are involved in a lawsuit.

Brilliant.

So the Obama Administration is making up the law as they go.

Again.

Time for this regime to go!

They invent crisises that don’t exist, to propose phony “solutions” for the sole purpose of increasing POWER AND CONTROL.

They are destroying America!

For making a legal filing in court?!?!?

Have you read the filing itself? I have. (I know, I know...informed commenting is against the rules these days, it seems.)

When a bureaucRAT tells a federal judge to “SHOVE IT”, does that enable the citizenry to say the same thing to a judge.
After all, those in government are in theory “Leading the WAY to truth, beauty and ethics.”
Are we not supposed to emulate those in high places?

He is not going to refill. Emptying the reserve fills a purpose.

Trying to run out the clock again.

It’s about time a judge hauled them in and either fined or imprisoned these meddlers.

Just think about what would be the best thing for the country and count on the exact opposite out of this administration and you will hit the nail on the head every time!
