The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled late Thursday that a lower court acted correctly when it struck down Obama's illegal, ideology-driven attack on American energy exploration over the Gulf oil spill.
The court concluded that the White House had no authority under the law to issue sweeping decrees shutting down entire industries on a whim, except for cases in which it could demonstrate that allowing the industry to continue operating threatened "irreparable injury" to the federal government.
And one major (and highly suspicious) disaster in sixty years of offshore drilling clearly does not qualify. As I have argued before, it would be like President Bush shutting down all aviation because of 9/11.
It's an absurd over-reaction that conveniently fits right in with Obama's economy-killing crusade against energy companies.

Finally the court sees the logic and rationality that Obama is a nazi, communist, socialist, nazi, Kenyan, Illumnati, nazi, dictator of the New World Order who is a puppet of Soros with plans of putting us all in FEMA concentration camps. That's just common sense and common knowledge, and at last they have gotten some common sense of these great truths like us tea partiers! VOTE REPUBLICAN! VOTE AGAINST NAZI FEMA NEW WORLD ORDER FREEMASON CONCENTRATION NAZI DEATH CAMPS! BRING SANITY BACK TO AMERICA!
I don't think it's clear.
NAZI
Agreed, Robert
Court Good, Obama stinks.
Those darn checks and balances are SO inconvenient when one is trying play God. Barry's gotta think of a much bigger crisis to get away with acting like a dictator.
Conservatives are all for legislation from the bench when they agree with the judges...
As a desperately fashion enthusiast, we always pay special attention to the latest fashion designs and what will be in vogue in the following seasons.

We all know that in our nearby have a lot of aficionados are keen on Juicy velour handbags. At first I cant understand this phenomenon, because I think the juicy couture handbags are too feminine and too teen and kiddie-like. But when I have bought the first Juicy Couture bags, I have changed the ideal at once.
Juicy Couture does it again with this Royally Juicy Quilted Tote. It comes in silver shade, which simply shows winter feel, and the quilting makes this bag kind of sumptuous. What completes its winter design is the faux fur trim on top, which can actually be removed so that you can also use it for other seasons. It is very obvious that this tote has a large J embossed heart on the front for branding. This also has some ruffle detailing, which completes the femininity of this bag.
It is quite large to hold your daily necessities, yet this can be carried easily through its metallic silver straps. Another interesting feature on this handbag is that it has four zip-fasteni

Take that Obama! You idiot dictator! I can't wait to vote you out of office or celebrate when you get impeached.
Hello Hmmmm,
How pleasant of you: don't bother to actually address the points of the court, just do the usual Social Progressive 'Drive By' of hit and run......yeah, like that'll convince anyone of your position.....whatever your 'position' might happen to be on this issue, as you've not bothered to man/woman up and actually explain your position.
Nothing new....standard SP operating procedure.
Cheers
@hmmmm much like you whiney pantywaste liberals! Bet you don't ride your. Bike for transportation or refuse to use your air conditioning. Just love beating down the energy companies while using their products. Hypocrites!!! Perhaps Zimbabwe would be more to your liking you lip-licking liberal retard!
Mollusks! Mollusks! I have mollusks in my pooper!
That's the same thing that happened to FDR,when he tried to put in the 'New Deal' the courts stepped in and struck down the majority of it.
And FDR did not bring us out of the 'Great Depression',it was 'World War II' that brought us out of the 'Great Depression',but Obama has turned this Recession into the 'Great Recession',Obama is economically inept.
NICE to have something intelligent finally coming from our courts recently. Tossing the gun control crap, now this. Someone is finally growing a pair! These judges, Governor Brewer - dang, they're just getting better & better. I'm SO glad some officials are standing up to that piece of garbage sullying the White House. As regards the "VOTE REPUBLICAN" advice - huh! They're not any better than the Democrats these days, barely any difference. This here lifelong Republican has switched to the Constitution Party. One way or t'other, we Patriots WILL dispose of Øvomit!
(methinks you need a spam/troll-catcher code here! ah well, I just sent an "I-will-never-shop-from-you-because..." letter. Made me feel good.;-p )
Ha! Arguing with a teabagger? Why bother? These are the people who are plotting to overthrow the Unites States government if they can't win in elections. I don't hold "debates" with revolutionary America haters like teabaggers.
Celebrate, but don't let your guard down, Obama and his hellish minions may just have a granddaddy of a "crisis" planned to ensure that he will be able to declare martial law sometime between now and 2012.
its about time they did the right thing...
The only way ANY political party enjoys legislation is when it tends to favor the way they lean. What a stupid statement to make... The difference between liberals and conservatives is the conservative is usally more supportive when the court upholds the Constitution. Liberals tend to like the outcome more if the decision handed down is anti-establishment.
The only way the President can successfully declare marsall law is for the military/law enforcement to support his decision. I simply don't see that happening....the military seems to see him as inept and arrogant and the rest of the world sees him as naive and arrogant.
Small victory in the scheme of things, but a great one at that. One victory at a time. It's good to see some of the states and courts starting to identify tyranny and rebuke it.
I just wish people had recognized hardcore tyranny about 10 years ago.
@Gregori...guess what...the US military won't have to do the job of martial law even though they already did after Katrina. These trasonous bastards have brought in mercenaries and soldiers from other countries to train hand in hand with our troops and police for the martial law. You think that foreign troops will give a darn about putting down American people? Don't bet on it.
Thank God, there is still some common sense in our courts.
Well hmmm,
Has it EVER occurred to you that when a government takes power from the people, it rarely ever voluntarily gives it back? I suppose you don't mind if the government makes up ALL of your major decisions so you don't have to worry about such scary things like personal responsibility, fairness, free speech & other esoteric subjects. Of course, I realize that people LIKE you don't mind if other people have an opinion as long as they agree with you! I don't know where you live but I suspect that you are just another perfect example of a spoiled brat who expects more & more & more. Why should YOU & other liberals worry about paying for benefits when it's so unfair for those EVIL RICH people to have so much. Maybe someday, you will understand there is no such thing as a free lunch but probably not. I just wonder what would YOU do if you actually had to fight for what your rights & freedoms? Maybe you should go someplace a little MORE TOLERANT like china or north korea...

Ronnie knew best. "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
If you do not like the oil industry today---CELEBRATE-take off all your clothes that use petroleum as a base product. Turn off your air conditioner and say "No More".
I'm laughing. The more time passes, the more Hussen finds himself isolated from the people. 4 years and done.
The practical reality here (and the one that makes Obama even MORE dispicable - if that's possible); is that while this friggin' piece of s**t pushes his little toddler temper tantrum through the court system, the moratorium is effectively in place.
No one but a fool would commit resources to getting back on the job while at any moment some leftist piece of s**t judge (really that's their official title) overturns the rational, morally sound and constitutional judgement of the lower court.
They spend all the money and then get the plug pulled they are worse off than they are now (if that's possible).
I so want to be polite and decorus. But when a man is bending you over and cussin' your momma, maybe the time for restraint has passed...F**K OBAMA AND HIS MOMMA.
"Court rejects Obama's moratorium appeal."
Meaningless! King Obama will just ignor this ruling and continue his dictatorship via executive order.
Obama played by the rules and lost. Now, as usual, he will ignor those rules or change the rules so as to fit his agenda's favor.
Haven't been on the site in awhile. The rhetoric sounds a lot nastier and more contentious than I remember. Let's not become "one of them". We can remain civil and still win!

I hear you. Sadly the rules of engagement are always determined by the aggressors. They are ruthlessly tearing America apart before our eyes while telling us WE are unAmerican, We are the problem, WE are racists, yada, yada, yada.
When the goal of your enemy is simply to destroy, civility will only embolden them. They must know there will be a price too high for them to pay when they attack our people or way of life.
With thugs, only superior fire power is effective. They can't be reasoned with. The abandonment of reason in favor of deception and force is the first of the tenets.
Bullies need a butt whoopin' Nothin' else works.
I know the republican party is not the best at this time but we have grassroots tea party conservative candidates running in the republican party SOOOOOOO VOTE REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER!!!! We need to get control of congress in order to do anything about Obo.
THANK GOD!! I'll second that comment! Did anyone see the article re Castro and Obama. The Cubans had no idea he was a Communist when they elected him! He began by taking away their rights, just like Obama!! Wake up Americans!
On this surface this is great news, however, Obama is using the EPA to shut down oil drilling in the Gulf. In this instance, as always, if the congress or courts rules against him he uses one of the fed agencies to do the dirty work. The EPA stop issuing new permits in April, before the oil disaster and new EPA rules have existing companies in the gulf running for cover. Once again Obama has committed a treasonist act and continues to get away with it.
close it down on a whim??!!!! A whim??? Where have you been = ask fishermen in the gulf if this is a whim?? "hellish minions"??
"Tyranny" (which, btw, is an incredible insult to all those Americans who came from countries that were true tyranny - get a grip.
Do the voices in your head speak in tongues, or in Latin. Anything corporate/republican/tea party/trailer park/uneducated "real" American = good. Anything Obama = bad. The guy could pet a dog, and you'd probably be screaming how he is selling out to the European "socialists" because it was a German shepherd or a French poodle. Get a grip.
Has anyone noticed all the orange signs and working zones thru out Illinois and Wisconsin without any workers on sites, wonder if it's that way thru out the Country. Obamas way of making it look like work "HUM"
Challenge to NoCAGal - please name the rights Obama has taken away from you - and don't go into this without first googling "rights lost under bush" - oh, yeah, that's right, in your world every single one of those hundreds of sites that report the massive loss to, and ignoring of the constitution under Bush is probably a socialist plant - George Bush/Republican(dare I say white) = good, Obama/Democrat/(dare I say black) = bad.
Any trained parrot can make the statement "taking away their rights, just like Obama!!" - but just because you have read it, and you repeat it, doesn't make it so - so again to NoCAGal - please name the rights Obama has taken away from you -
Urinate on obama.
