The Biden administration missed another deadline to hold quarterly onshore oil drilling lease sales after a federal court ruled it was legally required to do so. The Department of the Interior (DOI) defied the June 2021 court ruling which ordered the administration to halt its ban on new oil and gas leases, the Western Energy Alliance — a fossil fuel industry group that challenged the ban — said Wednesday. In August 2021, the DOI vowed to publish notices of competitive sales in December and hold a lease sale 45 days later, two promises it failed to keep, in court filings.

They don’t obey the law so why should we?

"...no controlling legal authority..." Ever since Al Gore said this in 1997 the Democrats have run roughshod over laws, especially laws that are meant to limit the power of the federal government and to try to control corruption.

Inflation could be dropped a lol by allowing Americans to produce their own oil. Prices would fall from $95 a barrel to a more reasonable $60 a barrel pretty fast. The Biden administration has nationalized the entire U.S. economy and destroyed all the small businesses. This is a communist police state. The Democrats should all be hanged for what they have done.

The Biden regime seems awfully confident they can ignore the law and not face an impeachment after the midterm elections. I expect they are counting on the tremendous gerrymandering they are doing in blue states and on the election fraud they committed in the past being successful again.

Again, the Biden administration bans new oil and gas leases in defiance of the law. Expect gas to go up another dollar per gallon. Let's go Brandon!

It is truly amazing how many laws democrats break. Again I will say it for the one millionth time, THEY ARE WHO THEY WANT YOU TO HATE. A sick dementia ridden Biden has broken every law on the books while destroying our country and not one freakin person is held accountable. Get it yet...

I have the feeling that if the Judge would compel the high Administration officials - the Secretary of the Interior, and the people down the chain of command who refuses to obey the law- to appear before him in court, confirm that they refuse to obey the law, then immediately SEND THEM TO JAIL, that the administration's Actions would suddenly and miraculously change to one that Obeys the law. Do not assess fines. To these people, fines are just 'play money'.
Put their behinds BEHIND BARS.... I bet they would suddenly GET THE MESSAGE!

Laws mean nothing to Dems. At some point.....we may need to stop obeying the laws, too. That's not a good thing, not something I want to see happen, but they may be forcing it on us.
