Oil Drilling:
Federal judge holds Obama administration in contempt over drilling “permitorium” "When Judge Martin Feldman ordered the federal government to end its moratorium on deep-sea drilling, he actually meant it. In a ruling earlier today, the federal judge in New Orleans has held the Obama administration in contempt for its “defiance” in reimposing the moratorium through other means:"

"Obama is getting no love from the courts these days. Remember how the judge down in New Orleans struck down the drilling moratorium? And remember how his administration has flouted the ruling?
"Well, the chickens have come home to roost." To quote a great Bible scholar and theologian.

ObamaCare:
The Unconstitutionality of ObamaCare in Black and White "The judge took care to emphasize that “this case is not about whether the Act is wise or unwise legislation, or whether it will solve or exacerbate the myriad problems in our health care system.” Rather, he said, the case is about whether Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce also empowers it to compel commerce. Judge Vinson ruled that it does not, saying that to declare otherwise would extend the commerce power beyond the the plain and historically understood limits of that power and beyond the limits that the Supreme Court has previous sanctioned."
A Reflection on the Recent District Court Decision "Anyway, everyone seems to think the case is headed to the Supreme Court, so we’ll have to see how the Supreme Court rules. Stay tuned."
Obama admin vows to continue implementing health care law despite ruling "“We don’t believe this kind of judicial activism will be upheld,” said Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter in a blog post published at WhiteHouse.gov.
"Senior administration officials vowed implementation of the law would “proceed apace.” The Justice Department is appealing the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit."
Is The Obama Administration Throwing Us Into a Constitutional Crisis Over Health Care? "That means that under the ruling, the law is void and cannot be implemented from this point forward. The Administration’s legal remedy is to seek a stay of the ruling pending appeal. It cannot just defy a federal court ruling. If it tries, the plaintiffs should go to court for the injunction and/or seek an order of contempt against the administration. Pretending that the ruling doesn’t change anything when it unequivocally does, would be both a petulant and extra-legal approach to governance."
Who makes up the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals?"The Justice Department has 30 days to appeal the ruling to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta.
"The 12-member court has one vacancy; President Barack Obama has yet to nominate a replacement for Stanley Birch, who was appointed by President George H.W. Bush and who retired from the court last August. As it stands now, the 11th Circuit has six judges who were appointed by Republican presidents and five appointed by Democratic presidents."
