Grounds for the appeal? Judicial error or disagreement with the outcome.
Will the Appeals Court hear this regardless of whether or not there are proper grounds? Is it automatic?
An appeal before the next level of the court system would have to be based on an alleged error by the Judge Feldman in his ruling. If Salazar orders a new moratorium, then that is the basis of a new case, not an appeal of the original moratorium ruling. Not sure which way Salazar is going.
Arbitrary, Capricious and Above the Law
Hahahahaha...sounds like the lawyer on Seinfeld that represented the Kramer scams...
Clearly this reporter doesn’t understand that Mr. Skittles and his hand picked AG both went to law school and really know law. Mr. Skittles knew so much about law that he chose not to practice it. Mr. Skittles used his vast knowledge of the law to help poor people and write books about Mr. Skittles. Mr. Skittles is good. Bad people are bad.
Jackie Chiles... Outrageous!

I was confused on Salazar too. One article said he would appeal this case. Another article or news blip said he was going to order another slightly different moratorium.
Thanks for the info on the courts, I am not an attorney.
Worth repeating. LOL!!
In the mean time, rigs are shutting down and moving to Brazil and other places. .
Either way, pop some popcorn. This is going to be interesting.
So now the lamestream meme is going to focus on oil investments held by the judge. First, a big chunk of DOW and S&P are oil so any diversivied portfolio probably has some. Second, a drilling ban will clearly help some companies and hurt others. It will almost certainly increase the price of oil substantially if maintained resulting in higher profits for many companies. The lamestream are just so stupid.
Why weren’t the Republicans (other than Jindal) all over this 24X7 when it was originally announced?
And “Mr. Skittles’” Interior Secretary was also a lawyer, and was CO’s Attorney General, who spent the last half of his second term running for a higher office. I don’t recall him ever arguing cases. He, like his boss, spent most of his career, working in politics or for politicians. Obviously, he wasn’t listening during his Administrative Law class. This was a classic arbitrary and capricious and overly broad administrative action which any court would shoot down (well, maybe not within the 9th cir.)
Who is Mr. Skittles?
Here is a list of major BP share holders:

You’re right—lots of people have oil stocks in their portfolios or 401K’s, many via mutual funds.
I’ll bet the judge doesn’t have $9M in any oil company like Soros does in Petrobras.
Who is Mr. Skittles?
The ONE. The mesiah. The one we have been looking for. Y’know, unicorns, rainbows and free skittles. The candy man from Chicago.
The ONE himself didn’t promise everyone skittle crapping unicorns, but his supporters sure thought that that was what they were going to get.
They’re finding out now that “brown” isn’t one of the skittle colors.
