Judge issues permanent injunction against Biden’s ban on new oil and gas leasing
Business Report
A federal judge sided with Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and 12 other plaintiff states in a Louisiana-led lawsuit, issuing a permanent injunction against the Biden administration’s moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands and water.
U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty issued the permanent injunction, declaring that the president exceeded his authority when halting oil and gas leasing and drilling permits.
Doughty ruled that Biden’s executive order issued Jan. 27, 2021, violated the Mineral Leasing Act and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and was “beyond the authority of the President of the United States. Even the President cannot make significant changes to the OCSLA and/or the MLA that Congress did not delegate.”
The order implemented a moratorium on new development of oil and gas fields on federal lands just days after the U.S. Interior Department also imposed restrictions on existing leases. Also under Biden’s directive, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and Bureau of Land Management halted long-planned lease sales, which the lawsuit argued violated federal law and the procedural requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act.
The permanent injunction was issued more than a year after Doughty issued a preliminary injunction June 15, 2021. The Biden administration appealed the decision, arguing that the president has the authority to halt leasing. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed and sent the case back to Doughty, which resulted in him issuing a permanent injunction.
States joining Louisiana and Texas in the lawsuit were Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Utah and West Virginia.

West Virginia vs EPA is already putting up some big Ws. I’m convinced that it will be remembered as the SCOTUS case that saved America

Pretty sure the recent bill that congress just passed gave away the legislature's authority back to the executive branch (EPA) after the ruling. Which means the severity of environmental rules will continue to ebb and flow with the whims of the administration in power.

The ONLY thing he has exceeded on in two years.

Again, the Executive Order needs to be strongly curtailed, no matter which team has the ball. We now live under a soft dictatorship where a President's legacy means nothing, and the legislative process has little place in the equation.

Possibly, but this injunction seems to go against your argument.
Also if you’re right, the green movement will get absolutely curb stomped when a Republican president comes back into power

The biggest challenge in my job is trying to recommend an approach that can be viable regardless of how Washington steers the ship. Obama went hard left on his environmental rules with Boiler Mact and all of those EO's. Then Trump reverted them back into a more pragmatic direction that was more favorable to industrial expansion. Then Biden's handlers reinstated the Obama era controls and even amped them up. The next president will undo them to some degree. Then the one after that will reimpose them.
This bullshite is how we end up with every Yankee Doodle Dumbass idea coming into play and changing every 4-8 years. The legislature should be creating these laws and not delegating their powers to the executive on this. That cop out creates too much instability and gives the president too much power.
It's a constantly moving target. The business community needs more stability - that's why these regulatory laws carried out by the executive branch should be created and maintained by the legislative branch. Sorry if that means that your draconian rules and bans end up being watered down....but that's by design. A political party should not be able to make fundamental changes to laws and regulations without the support of a large majority of the legislature. The executive branch should not be empowered to both carry out AND create these laws.
Who POTUS is and their party should not matter as much as it does.

So people who make a living in the O&G industry that are harmed by unconstitutional overreach are just going to have to take it. The government should be able to be sued into oblivion for ruining people’s lively hood.
What they do is known to be illegal but only the working class suffers - go figure.

You mean the guy standing there saying I’m a threat to democracy ignores the democratic process?

Which will be challenged in court because the bill was passed via reconciliation and senate rules state it has to be a specific budget related item , not a policy item.
In other words they can’t change regulatory authority policy via a reconciliation budget bill.
