You guys do realize that this is nothing new, right?

The BLM was first criticised for this months ago, Congress could have stopped it, but nothing was done.

Nope, it's Pres. Bush's fault.

Yes it is his doing. These regulations are not voted on by congress, they
are direct policy rules & regulations Bush put into effect. Part of the so called
"Midnight Regulations" package.

Nothing in DC happens quickly. The drilling areas were announced on election day, and had been being talked about much before that. If Congress realy wanted to do something about it, they could have. BLM is subject to laws just like any federal agency (Except Congress, who routinely exempts themselves from their own rules)
