Amazing.....and OH SO AMERICAN....the Judge involved has EXTENSIVE stock holdings in BP and BP connected corporations...he was appointed by Reagan...say no more....:damnmate:
A federal judge has struck down the Obama administration’s six-month ban on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. The White House imposed the ban last month as the BP oil spill spiraled into what many have called the worst environmental disaster in US history. But on Tuesday, US District Judge Martin Feldman called the suspension "heavy-handed" and "overbearing." A Reagan appointee, Feldman has extensive stock holdings in energy companies, including Transocean, which owned the Deepwater Horizon oil rig where the explosion occurred, and Halliburton, which also performed work at the site. Feldman also owns stock in two of BP’s largest shareholders, BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the Obama administration will appeal the ruling.
So much for 'blinded Justice' when one can make a decision based on one's own portfolio!.....:puke: (and class interests) :banghead:
Sickening that someone so biased would not have recused himself, or been challenged and removed! To say the judiciary is packed is an understatement....it is chock-a-block with the Corporatists and Ultra-Conservatives!
