Judge stops Obama's would-be ban on drilling.

Death threats from the libtards...

Love these right-wing judicial activist judges (sarcasm alert--that was sarcasm). Deep-water drilling is different than shallower drilling. The companies have pretty much proved they haven't developed the technology or the infrastructure to deal with the safety and enviornmental issues involved, so let's set ourselves up for Environmental Disaster II, and let 'em go ahead. Stupid as a snake.

Problem is that if we shut deep drilling down over the one rogue company fuckup, then the rigs get taken elsewhere in the world and won't be back any time soon, and we go on paying increasing prices for oil to countries and actors which do not have our best interests at heart.

But that's what dems and libtards want, isn't it?

First, you are talking about a very very very small percent of the total oil the US used every day so no price increased is likely.

Second, one more major blow out and the cost of dealing with it is going to be a great deal greater then any price increase at the pump!!!!!

Third, the damn judge own shares in the oil companies what the hell is he doing ruling on this issue?????

Four, I hope you are also happy that we are now risking a complete shut down of all oil production off our coasts because if we do have another major event in the near future due to drilling I can not see the American people not forcing that shut down and the hell with oil price increases.

It's come forth that the judge (though he doesn't have any money invested in the drilling company involved in this particular lawsuit) has several individual investments of about slightly less then $15,000 each in other energy companies who have plans on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

This should get the judge impeached for the indirect conflict of interest but won't.

Often judges dont recuse themselves by some arrogance that they are "able to dispense justice without any problems of conflicts"

Such crap needs more refereeing by objective parties.

Hes now got himself into a possible ethics issue when he could have avoided it.
