The Obama administration said on Friday it is essential that its ban on deepwater oil drilling be restored after a court struck it down and promised a revised moratorium would be announced soon.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told reporters in California he will make an announcement on a new ban on deepwater drilling in the "next several days."
His comments came a day after a federal court refused to reinstate the six-month ban on deepwater drilling below 500 feet, which the Obama administration imposed after BP Plc's massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled 2-1 against the administration's request to stay a lower court decision lifting the ban, saying the government failed to show how it would be irreparably harmed if it were not granted.
The administration said it did not consider the ban a major setback for the policy because it lets the Interior Department apply to stop a project if an operator attempts to start deepwater drilling in the Gulf.

They sure do know how to kill jobs...
...to continue its plan to thoroughly destroy America
So what if the Supreme Court rejects the drilling ban, will the regime do it anyway?
the rigs are already leaving
even the shallow well rigs are going to leave
the USA has become an oligarchy, our courts have no power to enforce laws if the oligarchs choose not to obey them
I’m convinced. Obama is insane!
Suprme Court? obama don’t need no steenkin’ court, bunch of old white dudes relying on an outdated document written by a bunch of old rich white slave-owning dudes
Then Obama's actions make sense.
“the rigs are already leaving”
Yep, the exodus begins:

More idiocy from Ken “padlock” Salazar and the Kenyan.
Obama is fundamentally beholden to Soros, and Soros is heavily invested in Brazilian oil. I think Obama is doing Soros’ bidding because he has no choice. Soros has long wanted to destroy America, and saw Obama as the perfect medium, imho.
The courts may not, but see tag line.
Those are White Boy jobs -— them drilling jobs!
Hussein's Brothers got plenty of jobs -— $timulus funds to SEIU and Community Organizers!
Remember, tin-foil is worn shiny side out.
I predicted this bunch would never obey the court’s decision. They think they are above the law. Reconciliation, the Slaughter Rule, “deeming,”, etc. They don’t even break a sweat stealing elections. Destroying the entire Gulf oil industry, well that might take ‘em a while, but they’ll git ‘er done.
I wonder what kind of security Soros keeps.
JUst wondering how the court that ruled against the first one will view this?
And don’t forget the grounding wire strap. Otherwise, those govenment mind reading waveforms will cause a buildup of static electricity. That charge will seek ground next time you go to the john. That will create quite a mess.
He did get hit in the face with a pie once. That would have punctured a normal person’s messianic fantasies...except that normal people don’t have messianic fantasies in the first place.
Soros is 81 yo, and has spent his life, from at least the age of 14, hating, hurting other people, and feeding his megolomaniacal ego. I don’t understand why his body doesn’t just give out under the strain of all that negativity and evil.
