Federal Judge gives Interior Department (Whose already in contempt of court) 30 days to start issuing drilling permits in the Gulf

The Obama regime continues to disobey the U.S. Constitution and a federal judge’s ruiling. After all, this is the lawless administration. No law can stop them.

• ObamaCare is ruled unconstitutional, twice, by two federal judges, yet they continue to go forward.
• Obama’s FCC was told by a federal judge that they do not have the power to regulate the internet, yet the FCC continued and passed their own net-neutrality laws without Congress.
• Obama’s EPA took over when his ‘cap-and-trade’ scheme couldn’t get through Congress. Another example of Obama going around Congress and over the Constitution to regulate when he can’t legislate.
• Obama couldn’t get his ‘card-check’ through for his union goons, so he turned to the NLRB, where he appointed a SEIU/AFL-CIO lawyer, to try and get this done.
• A federal judge ruled Obama’s drilling moratorium illegal…twice…only to have the Interior Department to issue a third drilling moratorium.

The Obama regime continues to disobey federal laws and federal judges because these things put road blocks in their fundamental transformation of America.

The Hill reports:

A Louisiana federal judge critical of Interior Department offshore drilling restrictions on Thursday gave the department 30 days to decide whether to issue five deepwater drilling permits for Gulf of Mexico projects.

Judge Martin Feldman’s order features his latest attacks on drilling restrictions imposed after the BP oil spill, alleging that permitting delays have “become increasingly unreasonable.”

Interior lifted a formal ban on deepwater permits in October but has yet to resume permitting. Thursday’s order mandates decisions on five permit applications in which Ensco Offshore Co. – one of the companies that has sued Interior over drilling restrictions – has a stake.

“The plaintiff has also shown the threatened injury outweighs any harm that will result to the government if preliminary relief is granted and that the injunction will not disserve the public interest,” wrote Feldman, a judge with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

“As the first anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon disaster draws near, any reason that would have justified delays has, under a rule of reason, expired,” his order states.

The Hill failed to report that the Obama deepwater drilling moratorium was ruled illegal, twice, and the Interior Department has been charged with contempt of court.
