Judge Drills Holes in Drilling Ban
Thankfully - a federal judge has recognized that the federal government overstepped its bounds, a situation all to common these days.
The ruling that the 6mo ban on all drilling in in the gulf in water over 500ft was "arbitrary" seems pretty damn logical to us simple folk, but the administration has vowed to fight it.
Looking at it another way - this would be like banning all air travel on the west coast for 6mo because a plane crashed when trying to land in LA, and you already knew the cause of the crash.
In other words, the ban was an idiotic and arbitrary decision, designed to appeal to the hearts of the mob rather than the brains of the majority. Or, in other words again, it was business as usual for the current administration.
Anyway - it will be upheld, but I doubt any judge will find this ban as anything but arbitrary.
Yet again - I have more faith in the unelected branch of government than any other.
