It looks like oil drilling will begin again in the Gulf of Mexico. Yesterday afternoon, three appeals court judges in New Orleans agreed with a lower court ruling that struck down the Obama Administration’s Gulf drilling moratorium. The President imposed the moratorium in order to allow for time to study what went wrong with the BP rig that burst in April, causing the worst oil spill in American history.

Alliance For Justice reported yesterday that the three judges on the panel all have significant ties to the oil industry.
