I can agree with that statement. But carefully wording a statement not to reveal relevant facts is an action on par with a lie. Call it what you want.

I think this method of communication became popular two presidents ago. "I did not have sex with that woman".

Saying the judge ruled against the moratorium because he held an insignificant interest in energy stocks is wrong, incorrect, misleading, and untrue. We each get to define what is insignificant, but I haven't seen any numbers that exceed $30,000, and yes that is insignificant.

He may have ruled against the injunction because he has family members and friends affected by it, along with 300,000 other people in S La. And he sees the injunction as a ruse by the Obama administration to promote cap and trade.
