A federal judge ordered the federal government to halt its ban on new oil and gas leases in a major setback for Biden’s regime.
Judge Terry Doughty, of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, granted a preliminary injunction that had been requested by a large coalition of Republican state attorneys general in an order released Tuesday evening. The Department of Interior is prohibited from enforcing the oil and gas leasing ban until the case is concluded, according to the order.
On Jan. 27, Biden signed the executive order banning new oil and gas leases on federal lands. The order was part of a series of executive actions that Biden signed shortly after assuming office and were aimed at tackling climate change.
But in March, Landry, joined by 12 other attorneys general, sued the president and his administration, arguing the ban was illegal.
The lawsuit alleged that Biden’s order violated the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and the Mineral Leasing Act, which were both passed by Congress and affirmed the federal government’s intent to achieve energy independence using U.S. resources. Biden’s order makes the U.S. dependent on foreign energy sources, the states argued.
This has become a strange way to run a nation, to drive an economy. The democrats will continue their underhanded, unconstitutional machinations forcing honorable, industrious, true patriot Americans to litigate each and every illegal action the regime attempts. God speed patriot America. And if ever their was a time for our judicial system to step up and show some backbone this is it.
