"In the ruling the court went on record that the Federal Government is in charge of the oil spill clean up efforts. Thus any damages related to the cleanup are now the burden of the Federal Government, meaning the US Taxpayer."
I thought that BP said they would take care of everything? I hope there is an appeal and this is not the end of this.
it is the responsibility of the federal government to sue bp and transocean, not a third party.
Nonsense ... Americans damaged by corporate actions is a legitimate civil matter, particularly when the federal government is complicit. The Judge in this case is just another example of the many criminals now presiding over American jurisprudence, and ought to be pursued criminally.

Wow no wonder the utter media silence on what's going on down there. Nothing to see here folks just your tax dollars at work cleaning up the mess made by BP. I guess Obama can rest now too.

The lawsuits dismissed on Thursday belonged to the D1 pleading bundle.
D1 bundle claims were filed by third-party organizations that alleged environmental damages under the Clean Water Act; the Endangered Species Act; the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act; and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act.
This was the first ruling arising from issues addressed during a May 26 hearing on the defendants' motions to dismiss particular bundles.
Claims with varying types of damages were included in more than one bundle, depending on type of claim.
In dismissing the D1 claims, Barbier said the claims could still be heard if they seek damages for violations other than environmental claims.

Don't look now, but I think that Obama/BP slush fund might just be ready to bite us all in the @ss.

Makes you wonder why the media is silenton so many thigs of major importance yet have all the time in the world to talk about Weinergate. Intentional dumbing down of America anyone?

This little tidbit might help:

"The injunction at this stage would be useless, as not only is there no ongoing release from the well, but there is also no viable offshore facility from which any release could possibly occur," U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier wrote. "The Macondo well is dead, and what remains of the Deepwater Horizon vessel is on the ocean floor, where it capsized and sank in 5,000 feet of water.
"Moreover, BP and the agencies comprising the Unified Area Command have been and are cleaning up the Gulf of Mexico. An injury is not redressable by a citizen suit when the injury is already being addressed."
I think you are missing the point...BP promised to take care of everything, the spill, legitimate claims, the cleanup, etc. Why do they need to be sued by anyone if they were keeping their word?
Maybe believing they would keep their word in he first place was irrational.

dont forget that they did in fact set up a $20 billion fund to provide for clean up and help pay for damages to the locals who were in fact hurt by the spill.
