Maybe if NBC did some investigation they would discover that the rulings of this particular court, the 5th Circuit, have been ignored by the Obama Administration in the past. They are the ones that ruled the drilling moratorium to be unconstitutional and the Administration continues the moratorium to this day.

You know it is ironic in that the Obama administration has check and ballances backwards. Obama seems to think the checks exist to be sure goverment has all the power it needs.
Whereas they were quite explisicly edesigned to help prevent the exterize of power not consented to.
That means when a judge says no you can’t do something, you cant do it. but when a judge says you must do something you don’t have to comply.
This is really the buried but true story of Marbury v. Madison. Madison(working under Thomas Jefferson’s direction) never complied with the Federal judge’s order to act & issue Marbury his commission. The Federal supreme court recognized this fact and the fact that they lacked the power to force Madison to issue the commission. Instead they insisted that the Federal court was bound to disregard unauthorized acts.
In other-words an Action by Thomas Jefferson or the Congress must be nullified by the Federal court when it comes before them if it is outside the bounds of the Federal Constitution. This is judicial review as apposed to judicial command.
Note: The responsibly & power for this came from the same oath which congress, the president, and our State Officials take to uphold & defend the Federal Constitution.
Contrary to what Obama has said, The Federal court(federal employees) DOES NOT have the first or the last word on the Federal Constitution. If they did, then as Thomas Jefferson pointed out, their discretion, not the Constitution would be “the supreme law of the land”.

What the Federal court has, is a veto
