What a coincidence. Now we're getting a bigger picture of what's really going on here. This guy's a Reagan appointee as well. Big Oil strikes again.

The federal judge who overturned Barack Obama's offshore drilling moratorium reported owning stock in numerous companies involved in the offshore oil industry — including Transocean, which leased the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig to BP prior to its April 20 explosion in the Gulf of Mexico — according to 2008 financial disclosure reports.

Shakespeare could not have a wrtten a better story of corruption, back stabbing, cheating, thieving and collusion than what is going down in our government and judicial systems. What is wrong with this picture? I am sorry to say this, but we need several more of these oil eruptions to make the world uninhabitable and wipe humans off the face of the planet once and for all!

And now the beginning of discrediting the judge who ruled against the administration, even if it takes lies..

He OWNED, in 2008!!.. and the amount is rather ridiculously small.. Whats the point again?

I think in this instance it would be called "greasing his palms".

There was no reason to shut down off shore oil drilling. Hysteria is not an answer to what happened with BP and yes BP is culpbale but not the entire industry.

Soon we'll hear that the judge had a gay love affair back in the 1940's, and the release of his college transcripts to prove that he's not qualified to be a judge.. After all, that Constitutional scholar in the White House cant be wrong..
