After the BP oil spill began, the Obama administration issued a 6-month moratorium on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
But even this modest move is rendered a pile of dust by America's right-wing activist federal judges - who have become more or less a monarchy in black robes.
U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman (a Reagan appointee) has now gutted the drilling moratorium. Feldman's excuse for overturning a valid presidential order is that he thinks there's no evidence that offshore oil drilling poses any threat to anything.
Seriously. He said that.
The worst oil spill in history won't be plugged until Christmas or later, and some right-wing judge is standing there saying offshore drilling is perfectly safe. You can't make this stuff up, people. This reminds me of how all during the recession, the media kept saying how great the economy was.

ReplyDeleteAnother Tickle Me Scissors customer?
ReplyDeleteWhat I find really funny about the Scott Brown race is that you said he's lose, and then that he'd accuse his opponent of cheating. Then he won, and you accused him of cheating.
ReplyDelete"He even opposed the popular and effective stimulus package as well as financial regulatory reform."
ReplyDeleteThe stimulus was not effective, nor is it popular.
The reason for that is obvious: Scott Brown cheated. The Democrats didn't.
ReplyDeleteHe cheated by waging an effective campaign. He wasn't supposed to do that!
ReplyDeleteThe media gave Scott Brown an in-kind contribution by supporting him. (See also George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Rand Paul, Ernie Fletcher, etc.)
ReplyDeleteThe media did not support him. The media is left wing. Of course, you also think that communist Korea is right wing, so you're out of the realm of reality all together.
ReplyDeleteI think anybody who says "The media is left wing" forfeits the privilege of being taken seriously. I debunked this stupid meme when I was 15.
ReplyDeleteI think anyone who denies it forfeits the privekisge of being taken seriously. Most reporters are democrats. Bush was assailed his entire presidency, whereas Obama has been given a pass. Again, to you, North Korea is right-wing, so you're completely clueless about these things.
ReplyDeleteMost media execs are Republicans, Gufus.
ReplyDeleteNo, they are not.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are.
ReplyDeleteNo they aren't. And besides, they wouldn't have given such positive coverage to Obama if they weren't.
ReplyDeleteThe media was against Obama in the primary and in the general election, dummy.
ReplyDeleteNo it wasn't you twit.
ReplyDeleteAlso, learn what fascism is.
ReplyDelete"Facebook is fascist! Because, uh... FASCISM!"
