It’s time for the people to impose a ban on a socialist, tyrannical, runaway government.

The judge who previously lifted the drilling ban should order Ken Salazar arrested immediately and brought to his courtroom on contempt charges. He can stay in jail for the duration of the new moratorium.

The judge who previously lifted the drilling ban should order Ken Salazar arrested immediately and brought to his courtroom on contempt charges. He can stay in jail for the duration of the new moratorium. Absolutely! And it bears repeating.

The suspension is needed, according to the Interior Department, to allow time for the implementation of new safety changes and for: operators to submit evidence that they have the ability to respond "effectively" to a potential oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, given all of the resources -- such as dispersants, skimmers and boom -- that have been dedicated to the BP spill
... The administration also is expected to make the case that the industry is ill-equipped to respond to a blowout in deep water -- as evidenced by the nearly three months that oil has been flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. In legal briefs, the administration also has stressed that essential resources to clean up and contain another spill -- from chemical dispersants to boom -- are tied up with the BP disaster, making them unavailable if another spill happened soon.
Are you flipping kidding me? Their reasoning for this moratorium is that BP, who has not been allowed by the feds to use skimmers from other locations because "there might be another spill", is that they are using up all the skimmers? The feds, who refused to let the states protect their own waters by building sand berms, are now saying that the reason they must have another moratorium is because BP is using up all the resources? Resources that the feds have blocked the use of at every turn?
OMG, is there no end to the stupidity and insanity of this administration? Wait... don't answer that.

What gets me is that they got what they wanted ie a way to save face with their base. They tried to get a moratorium, failed, appealed and failed....case over...
No, they wish to push this for some other reason.
Why not ask for a moratorium on BP deep sea wells? Why penalize the other, more safety conscious companies?
Also, there is talk among some engineers that the coast guard’s overzealous dousing of the flames caused the drilling rig to sink, thus damaging the connection 5000 ft below the surface.
Since the 1940s there have been virtually no major leaks or problems with drilling in the Gulf.
What then, do these people want?

This is insane. He has essentially just given the finger to the courts.
He has announced, through this, that there is no check on executive power.

If the judge doesn’t, he should be asked why not.
