Re: Didn't Obama (none / 1)

My concern is that Interior can still grant an awful lot of leases between now and January 20, which would make the damage harder to undo.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

Re: Didn't Obama (none / 0)

An unlawful lease is an unlawful lease. Presumably they can't start actually digging in less than a month, so all they have to do is yank the permissions and then wrangle with the courts over whether the corps get their money back or not (basically a question of whether they were acting in good faith or not - I vote that they shouldn't get it back). Right?
