BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A federal judge has reinstated a moratorium on coal leasing from federal lands that was imposed under former President Barack Obama and then scuttled under former President Donald Trump.

Friday’s ruling from U.S. District Judge Brian Morris requires government officials to complete a new environmental review before they can resume coal sales from federal lands.

Among President Joe Biden’s first actions in his first week in office was to suspend oil and gas lease sales — a move later blocked by a federal judge — and he faced pressure from environmental groups to take similar action against coal.

The administration last year launched a review of climate damage from coal mining on public lands as it expanded scrutiny of government fossil fuel sales that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions

75 to 20 vote - back in 2013.

The Pubbies knew Morris was a puppet-scum stooge even back then.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was a fatal error.

Obama is not a natural born citizen.

(Harris is not, either)

I hate these people.

Let them all voluntarily die of exposure while eating bugs for sustenance.
Let them all mutilate their bodies to satisfy their own internal evil desires.
Let them all descend into the void, absent the Light of the God whom they despise.

That is all.

Refresh my memory. When did the Judicial branch get the authority to, not just rule on legality of laws but also decide wether executive orders are ledal? How about ruling on whether JFK’s executive order allowing government workers to unionize was legal?

I keep saying this, and I really hope I’m wrong; but we’re either not having an election or it’s 100% in the bag.

Their hubris is historically bad. This is something else.
