CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) -- A judge on Friday threw out Obama administration rules that sought to slow down expedited environmental review of oil and gas drilling on federal land.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal ruled in favor of a petroleum industry group, the Western Energy Alliance, in its lawsuit against the federal government, including Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.

The government argued that oil and gas companies had no case because they didn't show how the new rules, implemented by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service last year, had created delays and added to the cost of drilling.They gotta be kidding. Obastard's toadies have done nothing BUT delay and cost them money.

Apparently it was a tough day for Syria’s Assad, too.

What he doesn’t ignore, he announces how he is making it better but writes worse rules and regulations? Are all the rigs back online in the Gulf? ‘Nuff said.
The liar in chief loves the pain and misery he causes to every Republican governor or pro growth policy he sees.

A categorical exclusion also can be invoked when additional drilling is planned at a well pad where drilling has occurred within the previous five years. Sounds like some mitigation is called for... something like extending the 5 years to 7 or 8 years due to the now illegal delays.

Will Obama try to ignore this ruling like he ignored the one lifting the ban on off-shore drilling?
