Sabre86 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Houston Chronicle: NEW ORLEANS — A federal appeals court has rejected the U.S. government's effort to keep a six-month deepwater drilling moratorium in place.A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled soon after a Thursday afternoon hearing in a lawsuit filed by companies that oppose the drilling ban.The Interior Department said the moratorium was necessary while it studied deepwater drilling risks in the wake of the BP oil spill.The moratorium was previously struck down by a lower court on June 22.The appeals court ruling found that the Interior Department failed to show the federal government would suffer "irreparable injury" if the ban isn't restored while it appeals the lower court's decision.

SrWoodchuck Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Sabre86! Good Show Appealers! How many of Obama's daily Outrages are only needing a hearing before a court to reverse? Can anyone file "amicus class action brief's" on any of his extralegal, presidential change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, anyone can file an "Amicus" brief, but to be taken seriously, one must have, at least, a chance of standing in a similar case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
