JUDGES are open to corruption . i was taught this FACT by watching westerns when i was a pre teen. its the same old story but different hats. i would love to be able to appoint my own judge when i go to court.who would not? ROME is falling and the middle class is finished. rampant poverty is coming , along with a FASCISTA STYLE GOVERNMENT. WITH THE HELP OF REPUBLICANS AND TURNCOAT DEMOS.
So, the judge rules against the moratorium, and soon after the broken well's "cap" develops a new problem and the flow of oil is once again spewing at full force again.
How ironic.
This disaster is why we need to get away from using fossil fuel, it's time for clean energy.
The judge disagrees with Obama. Does that automatically make the judge a racist? So many others that have disagreed with him has been called that by so many pundits on your network.
The people in the gulf want drilling and the rest of us do not............ Now who is right them or us, lets see we have all this oil in the gulf (waters of the gulf ) and all the talk is let drilling start back up from the people and the govern body down there so please some one tell me who is right and how do we get to the point of doing the right thing...................
The White House is using this disaster to try and promote there climate change agenda and the judge threw a wrench in there plan's .
The Judge overrules the "Dictator". Great News!
