Judge tosses Trump executive order, restores Obama drilling ban


By Sudhin Thanawala - Associated Press - Sunday, March 31, 2019

President Donald Trump exceeded his authority when he reversed bans on offshore drilling in vast parts of the Arctic Ocean and dozens of canyons in the Atlantic Ocean, a U.S. judge said in a ruling that restored the Obama-era restrictions.

U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason in a decision late Friday threw out Trump’s executive order that overturned the bans that comprised a key part of Obama’s environmental legacy.

Presidents have the power under a federal law to remove certain lands from development but cannot revoke those removals, Gleason said.
“The wording of President Obama’s 2015 and 2016 withdrawals indicates that he intended them to extend indefinitely, and therefore be revocable only by an act of Congress,” said Gleason, who was nominated to the bench by Obama.

A Department of Justice spokesman, Jeremy Edwards, declined comment Saturday.

The American Petroleum Institute, a defendant in the case, disagreed with the ruling.

“In addition to bringing supplies of affordable energy to consumers for decades to come, developing our abundant offshore resources can provide billions in government revenue, create thousands of jobs and will also strengthen our national security,” it said in a statement.

Erik Grafe, an attorney with Earthjustice, welcomed the ruling, saying it “shows that the president cannot just trample on the Constitution to do the bidding of his cronies in the fossil fuel industry at the expense of our oceans, wildlife andclimate.”

Earthjustice represented numerous environmental groups that sued the Trump administration over the April 2017 executive order reversing the drilling bans. At issue in the case was the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.

Acting Assistant U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Wood said during a hearing before Gleason in November that environmental groups were misinterpreting the intent of the law written in 1953. He said it is meant to be flexible and sensible and not intended to bind one president with decisions made by another when determining offshore stewardship as needs and realities change over time.

In 2015, Obama halted exploration in coastal areas of the Beaufort and Chukchi seas and the Hanna Shoal, an important area for walrus. In late 2016, he withdrew most other potential Arctic Ocean lease areas - about 98 percent of the Arctic outer continental shelf.

The bans were intended to protect polar bears, walruses, ice seals and Alaska Native villages that depend on the animals.

In the Atlantic, Obama banned exploration in 5,937 square miles (15,377 square kilometers) of underwater canyon complexes, citing their importance for marine mammals, deep-water corals, valuable fish populations and migratory whales.

Judge tosses Trump executive order, restores Obama drilling ban

Apparently some presidents have more power than other presidents and all judges have more power than they ought to.

“President Donald Trump on Sunday called for an investigation into how the special counsel probe against him and his campaign began, continuing a drum beat against Robert Mueller's look into collusion and obstruction of justice.

'Everybody is asking how the phony and fraudulent investigation of the No Collusion, No Obstruction Trump Campaign began. We need to know for future generations to understand. This Hoax should never be allowed to happen to another President or Administration again!,' he wrote on Twitter on Sunday…”

“The wording of President Obama’s 2015 and 2016 withdrawals indicates that he intended them to extend indefinitely, and therefore be revocable only by an act of Congress,” said Gleason, who was nominated to the bench by Obama.

Her ruling is based on the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953, which says that "“The President of the United States may, from time to time, withdraw from disposition any of the unleased lands of the outer Continental Shelf." She said that because the statute doesn't explicitly say the President can also revoke a withdrawal, then Congress did not intend to give him that power. It's a simple case of statutory interpretation. I will be eager to see what higher courts do with it.

Very good interview by Mark Levin with John Solomon and Sara Carter

Subject is the phony "Russia" investigation against Donald Trump

better link than the orig one posted :

I was surprised that Levin didn't know that the 4 Carter Page FISA judges are identified in released material.

at the very end of the interview, John Solomon says he doesn't think much has happened w the John Huber investigation. Comment made that it may have been a head fake by Sessions.

Since the electoral college system means where those 51% of voters are matters, they aren't in blue states he'd never win anyway. Which may suggest an even larger margin in red and swing states.

MAGA!

Many of us have watched Mollie Hemingway articulately defend the President on Fox News for the past two years. She has written what I consider a "must read" article for The Federalist:

Why I Didn't Fall for the Russia-Trump Conspiracy

The article is long but very worthwhile, linking the Clinton campaign and Obama administration to the "Russia collusion" hoax in an airtight story.

The reason I didn't fall for the Russian collusion conspiracy is very simple, if there was any they would have exposed it before the inauguration and prevented it. If there was anything to it, we'd have known about it while the bamster was still in office.

Description

INTERVIEW - JOE DIGENOVA - legal analyst and former U.S. Attorney to the District of Columbia

>> More reaction to Mueller report fallout
===================================================================

>> BARR WILL RELEASE REDACTED REPORT BY MID-APRIL: In his letter to the top Republican and Democrat on the Senate and House Judiciary committees, Barr announced that he will release a redacted copy of special counsel Robert Mueller’s nearly 400-page "confidential report" into Russian interference in the 2016 election by mid-April.

>> GOWDY DOESN'T THINK REPORT SHOULD BE PUBLIC: Former GOP South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy said Saturday that he disagrees with congressional Republicans who want the special counsel’s Russia report to be made public. “I’m in a really small minority, Neil,” Gowdy said in an interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto.
“If you’re not indicted, I don’t know that the Department of Justice should be releasing a political hit piece that people like Schiff and Nadler are then going to use for 2020.”

> PAUL BLOCKS RESOLUTION CALLING FOR RELEASE OF MUELLER REPORT
Rand Paul objected because Klobuchar wouldn't agree to amend the nonbinding resolution to include provisions calling for the public release of communications between several Obama-era officials including former President Obama, former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan.

>> OBAMA ADMIN OFFICIALS PRESERVED RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE DOCS ON TRUMP. Obama administration officials were so concerned about what would happen to key classified documents related to the Russia probe once President Trump took office that they created a list of document serial numbers to give to senior members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a former Obama official told NBC News.

>> Trey Gowdy: CIA May Stop Giving Adam Schiff Information Because He Leaks ‘Like A Screen Door On A Submarine’ / Former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy predicted Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community might stop providing information to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff because he leaks “like a screen door on a submarine.” Gowdy was asked to weigh in on Republicans’ decision Thursday to call on Schiff to step down as chairman of the House panel. “Never seen that before,” said Gowdy, who served on the intelligence panel before leaving Congress in January. “We never voted to remove or ask a chairperson to step down.” “Adam is a deeply partisan person. He did everything he could to make sure Hillary Clinton became president. And he’s done everything he could to keep a cloud over the Trump presidency,” Gowdy said of Schiff.

SchiffHead: "I have evidence! No, really, I do!! I just won't show it, that's all. But, I have it!! No, really!!"

Rep. Schiff doubles down again on Trump collusion, calls president's behavior 'deeply unpatriotic and corrupt'

Do you know what's "unpatriotic", you lying jackass? Attempted coups against a sitting President of the United States. You should be in jail.

It would be VERY easy to prove Shiff is lying and shut him up.

Send FBI agents to interview him and ask him to turn over any evidence he has. If he refuses cite him with obstruction. If he admits he has nothing write a report saying so and release it publicly.

Of course this will never happen but it would quickly silence the bullshit.

The reason those on the left continue this farce is because there are NO CONSEQUENCES. They are able to do as they please without any repercussions. Want to make them think twice? Investigate and prosecute them for all of the illegal crap they have been doing for the last decade.

I wanna see that fuckstick's face on January 20th, 2021

I am with you. There is no justice in this country!

It would be more correct to say that there is justice in this country, but that it has become a rare commodity.

Trump's potential 'immigration czar' Kris Kobach proposes 3 step border fix:

More than a month after President Trump Opens a New Window. declared a national emergency to build a border wall, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, in a letter to members of the House and Senate Opens a New Window. , cited a “system-wide meltdown” and made an “urgent request” for resources. However, former Kansas Secretary of State and Trump’s reported contender for the White House’s “immigration czar,” Kris Kobach, on Tuesday told FOX Business things should have been much different.

“The president has wanted this wall for so long, we should have had a plan by the end of January 2017 for exactly where were going to build it,” he told Lou Dobbs. Opens a New Window.

“I've been talking with people on border patrol, on the border, until last week, I had not heard anything, people are confused, they don't know where they will be building this wall, only now are they starting to formulate a plan as to where the new portions are going to be built -- this is ridiculous.”

Kobach also said that the border crisis can be solved quickly in “three major steps.”

FOX Business took a look at the plan:

Publish the Flores Settlement Regulation

Kobach said this would be a regulation that ends the decades-old agreement that defines how U.S. officials can detain entire families together.

“That should be done immediately,” he said. “Then that will stop the caravans from using children as get out of jail free cards and reduce the incentive to bring them.”

Put unused government property to work

Kobach said instead of selling the thousands of empty mobile homes that the U.S. owns at over the Internet, “deploy them, along with immigration judges and a fleet of passenger planes, to border cities and create processing towns that are confined.”

Reform the remittance process with Mexico

In Kobach’s opinion a “powerful bargaining chip” would be to work out an agreement that makes transferring money to Mexico more profitable for the U.S.

“Propose a treasury regulation that says you can’t wire money home in the form of remittances if you are illegally present in the United States,” he said. “That would hit Mexico in the pocketbook, they get about $20 billion a year from remittances.”
