Jindal sues…

The Louisiana governor  filed suit to lift the Obama Administration’s six-month moratorium against deepwater drilling,  about which it lied on the  experts’ opinions.   The White House  is appealing,  of course,  but do they really want the court to reiterate that  the government failed to justify the ban and misled the public?   That its actions were arbitrary and overbearing?

As Chris Horner details,   Jindal has  been successful,  at least temporarily,  but it’s a long way from over,   as you’ll understand after reading Horner’s book,  Power Grab.  Until you do,  feast your eyes  on a post featuring a Capitol Hill source noting that the Minerals Management Service under the proposed budget of His Oneness will lose $2 million in funding for environmental reviews.

The budget will also cut 1,100 U.S. Coast Guard positions,  in addition to ships,  aircraft and helicopters.    Of course,  you won’t need security teams if all MMS is doing is pushing alternative energy.
