He&#8217;s fresh off his win in federal court where a U.S. Magistrate Judge found earlier this week that the <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=9960\">Obama Administration violated federal law<\/a> by not taking the effects of fracking into account in its environmental assessment before leasing areas of the Monterey Shale Formation in California to oil companies.<\/p>\n<p>We discussed the case and its first-of-its-kind ruling, the impact it may (hopefully) have on similar fracking land leases elsewhere in the state and nation, and what the hell supposedly &#8220;liberal&#8221; Democrats like Barack Obama and CA Gov. Jerry Brown must be thinking.<\/p>\n<p>I also covered this week&#8217;s election fraud felony <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=9955\">guilty pleas by a staffer for Newt Gingrich&#8217;s 2012 Presidential campaign<\/a>, the pending felony charges against a co-defendant and additional arrests that prosecutors say may be coming soon. All a part of Gingrich&#8217;s failed attempt to qualify for the 2012 GOP Presidential primary in Virginia, and his <i>unbelievable<\/i> hypocrisy in downplaying fraud in his own campaign that was far worse than anything ACORN ever did (or, actually, didn&#8217;t do.)<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we had an extended <a href=\"http:\/\/GreenNews.Bradblog.com\"><i>Green News Report<\/i><\/a> segment with Desi Doyen, to discuss, among other things, <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=9961\">Rep.
