The federal judge who struck down the Obama administration's moratorium on deepwater drilling after the Gulf oil spill held the Interior Department in contempt Wednesday, and ordered the federal agency to pay attorneys' fees for several offshore oil companies.

"Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the reimposition of a second blanket and substantively identical moratorium and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this court with clear and convincing evidence of the government's contempt of this court's preliminary injunction order," he wrote.

Looking forward to the contempt ruling against Obama for continue to implement Obamacare now that it was ruled unconstitutional.

When the libs lose the judges, they have REALLY overstepped the boundaries.

Get judges to legislate from the bench — that feeds to their egos. Flip them off by blatantly ignoring their rulings — that attacks their egos.

This Nazi regime doesn’t care about the courts unless the courts agree with them.

Contempt?
Usually when someone is found in contempt of court they’re put in prison for a little while.
Perhaps the Secretary of the Interior — Ken Salazar — should be jailed?

This could become very interesting. Even more interesting than some 20 year old twit giving out Oval Office BJs.

TGO was hot on Obama’s disregard for the rule of law...this all is going to come to a big crisis IMO ....the Vinson ruling essentially means that Obamacare is illegal and should stop in its entirety now.

inching? Obama is running full sprint towards it. No other admin since Andrew Jackson has defied the Federal court in this fashion.
