It’s still an arbitrary and capricious moratorium. Salazar still can’t prove that a blanket ban is needed. He still can’t prove that the other drilling operations will cause imminent danger to the region. He’ll lose again.
I hope the oil companies ask for damages that these frivolous legal attacks are causing.
The point isn’t to stop the drilling, the point is to put enough doubt in the minds of the owners of the drilling rigs to make them move them to other countries so that it will be YEARS before they come back. Obastard gets his permanent ban on drilling in the Gulf and the Rat Congress doesn’t have to do a thing.
