Judge: Obama Admin. Misled Public on Drilling Report

In a harsh rebuke of the Obama Administration, a federal judge granted an injunction to lift the Obama drilling ban. Judge Feldman also said that the Obama administration misled the public:

"Much to the government's discomfort and this Court's uneasiness, the summary also states that 'the recommendations contained in this report have been peer-reviewed by seven experts identified by the National Academy of Engineering.' As the plaintiffs, and the experts themselves, pointedly observe, this statement was misleading," Judge Feldman said in his 22-page ruling.
