Re: new drilling in the U.S
Quote:
Regulating what goes on at sea falls under "To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes" powers granted to congress. I mean, how exactly does one determine what waters belong to what State? It can also fall under "[provide for] general welfare of the United States." Yes, you can make the case for banning oil drilling due to the risk of oil spills and environmental damage it can do under general welfare clause. What exactly does the Federal Judicial Branch deal with? Issues concerning the Constitution I imagine. The mere fact that federal courts have jurisdiction implies that congress can regulate the sea. If you're going to pedal "you will find no such explicit mention" nonsense you should be aware that congress can pass any law it wishes so long as no constitutional provisions are violated. That is to say the Constitution tells you what you can do but it doesn't necessarily mean it tells you what you can't do. There is a distinction between the two. Lord Obama is Great!

Re: new drilling in the U.S
So to wrap this up I think its great that Obama is going to allow drilling and not put the ban back inforce. To bad I will probably be an old man by the time of the off shore rigs start operating because of all the red tape and court hearings. Now that I think about it even if I'm an old man i can still go out and see them and get a woody because I'll have federal health care to buy my Viagra.

Re: new drilling in the U.S
So lets take a littl poll here. How many years will this get tied up in red tape and then the court system? I'm going with 7 yrs. My gut says 10 yrs to never getting done.
