"San Francisco Judge"

“Shell's Alaska Drilling Project Blocked During Appeal (Update1)

By Tony Hopfinger and Bob Van Voris

Aug. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Royal Dutch Shell Plc's plan to drill what would be the deepest offshore Alaskan oil well was blocked until at least next year while a court considers the project's effect on bowhead whales and other animals.

A federal appeals court in San Francisco today ordered Shell, based in The Hague, to suspend its planned drilling project, which has cost the company at least $200 million. The court ruled that a collection of groups suing to prevent Shell from drilling in the Beaufort Sea showed ``a probability of success'' on their appeal in a hearing yesterday.

Just wait until these "concerned individuals" decry the ever increasing price of gas and oil.

The Ninth needs to be impeached.

Alex Kozinski is the only judge on that bench worth salvaging. The rest need to be cleaned out.

Their appeal rate alone is enough to justify it.
