pipedreams Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 "A federal judge in Louisiana has blocked the Biden administration's suspension of new oil and gas leases on federal land and water, claiming the administration provided no "rational explanation" for the ban and did not follow the law in executing it. Judge Terry Doughty of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday blocking the administration from enforcing the moratorium. He said the suspension violated the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and the Mineral Leasing Act, two laws designed to affirm the federal government's intent to achieve energy independence using U.S. resources. Doughty's decision came as part of a lawsuit filed by a coalition of 13 Republican attorneys general claiming the administration had unlawfully issued the order. The judge said his order applies "nationwide" and will remain in effect pending final resolution of the case, including potential appeals to higher courts. He noted that the decision would effect countless American workers." https://www.theblaze.com/news/judge-blocks-biden-oil-leases-ban?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20210616Trending-HorowitzMasks&utm_term=ACTIVE LIST - TheBlaze Breaking News "Louisiana Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry called the judge's decision "a victory not only for the rule of law, but also for the thousands of workers who produce affordable energy for Americans." "We appreciate that federal courts have recognized President Biden is completely outside his authority in his attempt to shut down oil and gas leases on federal lands," he added." 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 If “no rational explanation” is reason enough to junk Biden Executive Orders - and I suspect it is - most if not all of the orders he has issued since January should be junked. Because Democrats say they want something is not in itself a rational explanation for anything. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
