So the ban is for 30 freaking years? I scanned the article and never actually saw a time limit.
Let's see, Obama lets the oil spill go without doing crap, he bans drilling off the coast, he won't help stop illegal immigration on the southern border, and now he bans fishing for snapper. The conspiracy side of me wonders if he wants to hammer the red states on purpose. hmmm
I think it's actually worse than that: "Wednesday's vote extends for an indeterminate time an interim red snapper ban."
I suppose there will now have to be a proactive movement to lift the ban, as opposed to a reevaluation to extend it again.
