#1 Possibly good news, but probably signifying nothing. Aren't Zero and his ~~goons~~ regulators already ignoring at least one Federal judge's mandate to issue Gulf drilling permits?

#2 How refreshing. Checks and balances. Almost like that whole separation of powers dealy still sorta works.

Ah. Judge is a Wyoming native, nominated by Obama in 2009, has only been in the post for a year. Deciding on the basis of the evidence? Ballsy. That's why federal judicial appointments are for life. Although, it's a bad sign when we can say, the judicial branch is the one that's working.

#3 So we now have oil drilling ban - nope
Obamacare - struggling to stay alive
Elusive birth certificate- show cause Hawaii why you should NOT have to produce it
It would seem that Bambi's legal box score is looking more like the Mariner's than what martin Luther King, Jr, would be capable of producing.
This POS isn't even qualified to carry any of the good Doctor's books.

#4 Amazing to me that this was a Clinton appointee. It shows a sharp contrast between what this stupid a-hole is appointing now. Somewhere in the old John Kennedy universe of the dead corpse of the Democrat party, there are still some that have the balls to stand up for the Constitution. Do not balk at it. It shows Intestinal Fortitude.

Be proud that there is at least one Judge in this United States willing to risk it all for what is right and correct and damn the torpedos.
Even if all other decisions made by this Judge suck, this very one deems this Judge worthy of respect by default because it's account was solid and took on the most menacing and bullying administration in American history.

Bless all of you in the states that made this happen and bless this Judge that ensured the rule of law is more important than some pie in the sky assed up program.

#5 My bad, you are right random. It IS an Obama appointee.
Something or someone told me it was a Clintonian though. Still, my statement stands minus the appointment.

#6 And what would happen in OBumbles simply ignores the order?

It isn't like the God-King wannabe hasn't done so before.

#8 CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- 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.

Now if we could only get a Federal judge to .....THROW OUT OBAMA!
