HOUSTON (Reuters) - A federal judge in New Orleans rejected on Wednesday the U.S. government's request to dismiss a lawsuit challenging its original 6-month deepwater drilling moratorium.
Hornbeck Offshore Services Inc and other oil companies sued the government when it first ordered a halt to deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in May after BP Plc's well rupture that killed 11 workers and caused the world's worst offshore spill.

True. But Iowa voted for him.
We will too, when we get back from the beach. - Florida.
It’s not that those states are the only ones with oil workers. It’s that they have most of the domestic oil reserves outside of Alaska and California. It just might get the attention of the Feds if that oil were to suddenly stop flowing to them.
Do not forget, Obamessiah clearly stated his intent to Fundamentally Transform.
What saddens me further is my expectation that the Pubbies, should they acquire congressional majorities, will decline to dismantle Obamessiah’s dictatorship by Executive Order.
And with only a simple majority.
It is all this unfair criticism of Republicans and lies of the liberal media which has decimated the Republicans in Congress so much so that the socialists/democrats have total power.
Republicans in their ONLY short reign with only a simple majority stopped Clinton from doing many things including government healthcare, put 2 conservative justices on the Supreme Court, built up the military,2 tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, stopped Amnesty for illegals, stopped global warming legislation ,impeached lady Clinton, etc.
But all I hear is bashing of Republicans when it is the socialists, AKA the democrats who are destroying America.
I admire George Dubya immensely, but he declined to veto EVEN ONE appropriation bill. I have speculated that this was the price he had to pay for bringing the Dems along in funding the battles against the brutal Saddam Hussein regime and Islamic terrorists generally, but that’s pure speculation on my part. Also, Dubya had too much admiration for Mexico and a blind spot regarding the ongoing alien invasion from the south.
If Republicans are again granted governing powers, they had damned well better do the RIGHT THINGS this time.
Oh they will. After all, their families will still have to stay home and face the angry citizenry if the congresscritters fail to do so. Furthermore, with the judiciary in full blown rebellion mode against the Obama regime, I do not doubt that things will change for the better. Arizona is already taking charge and dealing with it and I am sure that other states will follow suit.
Hussein lost in court to stop drilling this week, and lo and behold, another explosion. Hmm.
The Supreme Court is a toss-up, on the very brink of being an enabler of the Soocialist Fundamental Transformer and his appointed coterie of Progressive/Socialist/Communist advisors/executive administrators.
Judge Rules Against Government on Drilling Halt
and then a platform explodes today.
Suspicious?
You tell me.
Bush is one individual . You are generalizing all Republicans based on the actions of an individual. That fails logic 101.
And what you say is mostly spin anyway. Bush and the Republican Congress did give us 2 conservative justices and 2 tax cuts etc.. Republicans in congress stopped Amnesty,government healthcare , global warming legislation and the myriad of socialist policies and legislation now being imposed on America. Democrat congresses created almost all the thousands of government agencies not the Republican congress etc.
Oh...I see what you mean.
I hope someone can get their attention.
