Finally, the wheels of the Judicial Branch are starting to take hold. Obama has been flaunting and disregarding the other branches of our system of government. Finally a smack down. Problem is that we are the ones that will no doubt pay fines and Attorney’s fees. Let us hope there is more of a penalty.Here tis:
The federal judge who struck down the Obama administration’s moratorium on deepwater drilling after the Gulf oil spill held the Interior Department in contempt Wednesday, and ordered the federal agency to pay attorneys’ fees for several offshore oil companies.
U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman chided the department for its “dismissive conduct” after he overturned the agency’s decision to halt any new permits for deepwater projects and suspend drilling on 33 exploratory wells after the Deepwater Horizon blast, which killed 11 workers and triggered the massive spill.
After Feldman overturned the government’s moratorium in June, the agency issued a second nearly identical suspension.
“Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the reimposition of a second blanket and substantively identical moratorium and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this court with clear and convincing evidence of the government’s contempt of this court’s preliminary injunction order,” he wrote.Yahoo News

I saw this late last night and was going to do a post on it tonight. This is good news! The Obama regime has been ignoring the courts and it is about time that something was done about it. He is going to try to ignore the courts on Obamacare as well so maybe this will make him think twice about it.

Yes, and I hear that page 76 of the Judges Ruling against Obamacare, it indicates no injunction was required and that the Gov was to stop implementation because it was illegal, according to Mark Levin.
