Judge rules Trump executive order allowing offshore drilling in Arctic Ocean unlawful

A federal judge in Alaska has ruled an executive order by President Donald Trump allowing offshore oil drilling of tens of millions of acres in the Arctic Ocean is"unlawful and invalid."

The ruling on Friday from US District Court Judge Sharon Gleason means a drilling ban for much of the Arctic Ocean off of Alaska will go back into effect.On April 28, 2017, Trump issued an executive order reversing three memoranda and one executive order in 2015 and 2016 by then President Barack Obama withdrawing about 125 million acres of the Arctic Ocean from oil leasing. The Obama order also prevented drilling in certain parts of the Atlantic Ocean.

Thank GOD, for thoughtful intelligent judges. This president is determined to continue putting our country in a state of chaos. I truly believe that is the mission Putin has tasked trump with.

angel_leigh is unlawful and definitely invalid!😂 just look at cnn’s ratings!!😂😂😂!

One corrupt ignorant judge will not stop our President. 8YEARS

Everything he does is unlawful, he can literally cure cancer and y’all will have something to say about it cnn You’re inrelevant you haven’t been relevant in a while..Only reason why I follow y’all so I can see what haters think about the president..

Hmmmm, but Obama with an executive order stopped it and that was ok.

👏👏👏👏

Am baffled how a judge anywhere has any right to rule on an executive order changing another executive order. How can that be?

Flipper51John Damn near everything the djtRumpenstein monster does is invalid and illegal. The lunatic is ignorant and unstable. Only his cultive minions are unable and unwilling to recognize how ignorant and completely incompetent he is. sad MyWhitePrivilege AmJoy ReleaseMuellerReport

The world was far better when man didn’t messed the environment this way. I don’t see how people think that if you withdraw a certain material under the earth that it will not affect the earth. Byproducts of oil after used are harmful to the environment.

Good, thank you

Trump is corrupt

Good man 😊

Ba bam.

THANK YOU 🌏🌎🌍💙💙💙

fake news

German_badgirl BRAVO!

Liberal judges, “Constantly reminding us why Trump got Kavanaugh and Gorsuch”.

Happy Dance!

🌍GOOD NEWS❗

So Obama can do something by executive order but Trump can't overturn it? Total BIAS!

tjbogart33 realDonaldTrump 👎🏿

The judges have literally crowned Obama president for life. DACA still in place. Obama immigration enforcement still in place No Trump healthcare association plans Trump bureaucracy policy invalidated And much more Obama is president

Very good

This is clearly a case of judicial overreach. This judge is saying that one president can ban something via executive order but the next president can’t reverse it via the same mechanism. What’s to stop trump from including language to make ALL his executive orders permanent?

Cling to the pre-Trump federal judges! Cherish them!

Kamala2020

Drill Baby Drill ! SCREW THE ARABS and AOC ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Winning Again !

Good for you Alaska, Canada approves.

One judge cannot overrule the President of the United States so this will definitely be overturned.

An appeal to the 9th circuit? Might as well go to a zoo and have big bird preside over the case.

Why, did i leave texas signatures off my presidental running ticket last cycle? Because everyone wants Texas electorial votes, and. I want them to come to mefrom. Other state political poling.

Say it. Obama judge....

Fake news

Good

A federal judge in Alaska has ruled an executive order by President orange man allowing offshore oil drilling of tens of millions of acres in the Arctic Ocean is 'unlawful and invalid'

Ignore the Obama judge

That's ironic-you could say that Trump himself is 'unlawful and invalid'......

There is no king or President to rule over those federally appointed judges, and they cut hair against the reading of the book of Judges from the HolyBible.

Trump, himself, should be deemed “unlawful and invalid.”

I have to agree - pretty shitty

And the 9th will up hold the ruling and the SCOTUS will rule in favor of realDonaldTrump/POTUS. ScoreBoard

All land, internal waters, territorial seas and EEZs in the Arctic are under the jurisdiction of one of the eight Arctic coastal states: Canada, Norway, Russia, Denmark (via Greenland), Iceland, Sweden, Finland and the United States.

SO.......

I posted this on another tweet: Great news and he loses again! Let's hope he loses all the law suits awaiting him in court right now. Then we will be rid of that megalomaniac wannabe autocratic dictator! Right realDonaldTrump ?

It is necessary. Oil will be crucial in the times to come.

earth quake area and drilling... BP incident in the gulf? I wonder what is the pressure spike of a well during a plate shift? does the blow out value have the ability to hold the pressure..

🙂

What do you people know?

❤

What this judge just did the rest of America should do say no to Trump and his crime family in the corrupt GOP say yes to democracy and a better one America🇺🇸😎

So only China can drill there now.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Just a Million Debt Slaves Marching... that's all

Gee.. Obama appointed Judge that will get slapped down by scotus. What else is new... 😂 😂

Hmmm no one had a problem when BO used his pen to get things done and now it’s a issue!

Stop him at all cost. Thank you judge!

BS.... Period. End of discussion

Good to know that we still have an independent judiciary. Just look to the past couple of weeks. I don't think that there has ever been a President who every time he turns around is being told by the courts that something he wants to do is unconstitutional or unlawful.

Thankyou federal judge.

Screw You realDonaldTrump !!!!!

STILL A GREAT WEEK! -Trump exonerated by MuellerReport -Avenatti arrested -MSNBC exposed as DNC agent -1 Billion allocated for Wall -Trump approval 50% -ISIS destroyed -GreenNewDeal gets ZERO yes votes -Criminal referrals made for Russian Hoaxers WINNING MarchMadness

ITS NO LONGER WHITE ITS BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE THE DEVIL!!!!!!

Good for Alaskans; stop treating them like a colony.

Womp Womp !!

Thank you

Federal judge declares Trump’s push to open up Arctic and Atlantic Ocean to oil and gas drilling illegalA federal judge in Alaska late Friday declared President Trump’s order revoking a sweeping ban on oil and gas drilling in the Arctic and Atlantic Ocean illegal, putting 128 million acres of federal waters off limits to energy exploration. This is why we can't have nice things! Like we didnt expect this but thankfully realDonaldTrump is appointing over 300 Judges to the Federal Courts and there is NOTHING the left can do. Time to get back to rulings based on the Constitution, not an ideology lol - cool opinion. It’s wrong, and won’t survive legal challenges, but very cute!
