The federal judge who struck down the Obama administration’s moratorium on deepwater drilling after the Gulf oil spill is holding the Interior Department in contempt of court.

WOW !
Yaaaaaay! Reagan appointee!
What the hell took so long?!!!!!
I currently hold much of the federal gov’t in contempt
Coming on the heels of Vinson's Obamacare decision, it will be more difficult for the Journolist media to ignore Hussein's lawlessness.
It’ll only be hugh and series
when someone is cuffed and sent to jail.
Pyritic victory. Will anyone who was involved feel any pain? Have to pay anything? Nope. But by ignoring the judge, the fedgov successfully stopped drilling for long enough that the platforms moved out. They won’t be coming back anytime soon. So lifting the ban(s) is meaningless, as is this ruling.
Rule of law? Doesn’t exist any more in the US...
But the taxpayers are now on the hook to settle the case and pay the damages.
How about some indictments and prosecutions to keep this from happening again when they refuse to heed court orders in the future.
Starting with Salazar

One step at a time my friend. The slide to tyranny must first be stopped before it can be reversed.
Actually, this is a step on the path to impeachment for a cabinet secretary.
Starve the beast
Tow the rigs out and start em up. When the Federal Marshals show up at company offices, arrest them and eject them from
the State of Texas... or wherever.
And sue the Interior Department for the economic losses incurred during the idle time.

I would try them for attempting to overthrow the United State’s government and hang them.
Seems to me this opens the fed gov up to all kinds of law suits!
1) declare the moratorium invalid
2) declare the administration in contempt and establish fines if the ruling is not obeyed
3) issue arrest warrants if the fines are not paid or if the ruling is still not obeyed
We have to get to step 3 before arrest warrants are issued.
Is it possible to make a citizens arrest in this case?
