Biden Administration Defies Court Ruling Again, Opts Against Holding Oil Drilling Sales

[excalibur]

They warned us! They warned us that Trump would be lawless and here we are.

Wait ...

The Biden administration missed another deadline to hold quarterly onshore oil drilling lease sales after a federal court ruled it was legally required to do so.

The Department of the Interior (DOI) defied the June 2021 court ruling which ordered the administration to halt its ban on new oil and gas leases, the Western Energy Alliance — a fossil fuel industry group that challenged the ban — said Wednesday. In August 2021, the DOI vowed to publish notices of competitive sales in December and hold a lease sale 45 days later, two promises it failed to keep, in court filings.

“President Biden just told the American people he’ll work like the devil to lower prices at the gas pump. But the lack of progress on federal lease sales means he’s not trying very hard,” Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, said in a statement. “The department continues to miss deadlines, drag its feet, and ignore a judge’s ruling to hold sales.”

“The Biden Administration is intent on preventing American producers from developing the energy we have at home to meet our country’s needs and lower gas prices,” Sgamma said.

Under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, the interior secretary is required to hold lease sales “at least quarterly.”​

Another lawless democrat administration which needs FORCED to stay within the law. Soon as one turns their back on a democrat, they are right back breaking another law. Looks like we are gonna have to kick these two bums to the curb and get competent people there to run the country.

Obama was the same way. If they didn't like or agree with any law, they just ignored it and did as they pleased. It's who they are.

I think Obumma was sanctioned or reprimanded like a dozen times by the Supreme Court for exceeding his presidential authority.

Was Trump ever sanctioned by them once?

Pure propaganda. The oil situation is more complicated at the moment.

But who or what organization is going to force them? They own the DOJ. Our only hope as a country is a massive Red wave in November.

I would think that is the duty of the Legislative Branch - Congress. Obviously, the democrat-controlled house and Senate will do nothing though, which IMHO is tantamount to dereliction of duty. Additionally, I would think individuals, companies, and the states could sue the gov't.

They may have a hard time with Joe, but they ought to haul Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland into Federal court, instruct her to follow the law and if she won't, jail her ass for contempt of court.

Same with Mayorkas.

But, who has the standing to sue them?

Those dang "standing" questions get me. Why wouldn't anybody in the drilling industry that has a history of buying lease and actually drilling, be regarded as having standing to sue, for harm to their lively hood by illegal action of the Secretary of the Interior, required to hold the lease auctions.

There has got to be something, I am not understanding, but of course, I'm no lawyer.

This judge was appointed by Trump. He also struck down covid mandates. Typical wingnut. Although, we was rated "well-qualified" by the ABA.

Golfing Gator another example of a president telling the courts to fuck off.

Yep, it is getting worse and worse with each new president. And as long as we keep putting the duopoly back in power, it will only get worse as times goes by

Biden refusing to issue drilling permits is not complicated at all

he’s empowering putin

That's an ignorant lie. US producers are not investing in additional capacity. They are returning profits to shareholders. They are also short of oil workers and sand.

It's amazing you can type that with Biden's dick in your mouth.

Less leases, less exploration, less exploration, less discoveries, less discoveries, less production.
