An appeal. The federal government has massive Constitutional power when it comes to interstate commerce, which oil drilling falls under.

I was under the impression that the moratorium was motivated by fear of another Deepwater Horizon. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 2:34 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Need help understanding a current talking point Are you talking about an appeal or a power grab.
