Judge Blocks Obama's Ban

Federal Judge Martin Feldman has denied the Obama administration's attempt to stop deepwater drilling. The president wants to be sure other wells are operating securely. Drilling companies filed a suit against the ban and the judge says it'll be settled in court.


Awaiting Trial

The government issued a drilling ban
To inspect that all's secure.
But the judge has ruled that such a move
Is a little premature.

Deepwater drillers filed a suit
To obtain a quick denial;
Says the judge, forget the ban for now,
We'll settle it all at trial.
