From Bloomberg:
The Obama Administration acted in contempt by continuing its deepwater-drilling moratorium after the policy was struck down, a New Orleans judge ruled.
Interior Department regulators acted with “determined disregard” by lifting and reinstituting a series of policy changes that restricted offshore drilling, following the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, U.S. District Judge, Martin Feldman of New Orleans ruled yesterday.
“Each step the government took following the court’s imposition of a preliminary injunction showcases its defiance,” Feldman said in the ruling…
Obama and his liberals don’t care about our national energy situation – that we are importing massive amounts of oil from enemy States; that gasoline looks to be heading towards $4 a gallon by summer. All that doesn’t matter – what matters is if Obama can keep part of his liberal donor base happy; and they are kept happy by a drilling ban. Regular folks? Who care? Especially as Obama knows he won’t win any of the Gulf States in 2012, anyways…they can go get stuffed.
Liberalism is laid bare here – the complete disregard for law; the hatred of any activity which actually creates wealth; the contempt for so-called “bitter clingers” who won’t vote for them. As long as Obama is President, policy will be subordinated to whatever is thought best to maintain and expand the political and economic power of the liberal Ruling Class.
We’ll see where this case – and the ObamaCare case – go…but my bet is that Obama will just defy the courts and keep at it, secure in the knowledge that as long as Reid is Majority leader, no Congressional efforts to call him to account will go anywhere.
