Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said the administration “will immediately appeal” the judge’s ruling to a federal appeals court in New Orleans.

When a judge rules that you can’t do something and you do it again, I would not expect the judge to react kindly.
Obama does a lot of “vowing, promising and making himself clear.”

How dare a mere judge contradict the dictatorial order of the Great and Powerful 0!
Will that Enviro-Nazi Salazar's new order supercede the Judge's injunction and be considered a new moratorium which will have to be litigated?
That is my impression of this underhanded tactic being employed by this Chicago-Thugocracy, Criminal Enterprise!
If the Obama administration defies the order, the judge should issue an immediate warrant for the arrest of Barack Obama.
