"English law governs this dispute and will determine whether the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and harmed BP in the process," wrote U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison.

Last I checked, it was our beaches the oil rolled up on.....

In your rush to throw out your insult on Texas, without doing any research, only shows you don't care about the facts.

Did you even bother read your own link?

"A federal court in Houston said it was more appropriate that investors file their lawsuit in the United Kingdom because the company is based in London."English law governs this dispute and will determine whether the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and harmed BP in the process," wrote U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison."


The judge who made the ruling is NOT from Texas. It just so happens that is where the District Court is located.

Strike 1 against you.

Keith P. Ellison (born 1950 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. His chambers are in Houston, Texas.
Educated first at Harvard College, he was awarded a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford where he studied at Magdalen College before earning his Juris Doctor from Yale Law School.
After graduating from Yale, he clerked for Judge J. Skelly Wright on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. He then clerked for Justice Harry Blackmun on the Supreme Court during the October 1977 term before entering private practice in Houston.
In 1999, he was nominated by Bill Clinton to a vacant seat on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas and was confirmed by the U.S. Senate. He received his commission on July 7, 1999. His chambers were in Laredo, Texas until 2005 when his duty station transferred to Houston.

WOW, a Clinton appointee.
He is not a Texas judge so your insult on Texas has no validity.

Strike 2 against you.

The judge went Haaawvard, was a Rhodes scholar and went to Yale.

This is just the education the left constantly brags about.

Strike 3, your out!

Post. Epic fail

some of you might want to actually READ the whole article;

The U.S. court could reassert jurisdiction if the UK courts refuse to take the case, the ruling said.

Nice job of research that proves too much about what old bob says. I was thinking about doing some of that since I couldn't see what he was so excited about other than the words about Texas.

You deserve a rep point but I can't give you one now.

Yes - makes sense.
The Shareholders Derivative suit should be brought in the UK.

Other suits involving BP are correctly pending in US Courts.

The OP's intent was to throw a slur against Texas because that is where Bush and Perry are from. He could care less about anything else as can be seen by his comments and without reading his own link.
