But they say it's a temporary ban...

Ah. I didn't know how long the ban was.

Given the political power wielded by companies interested in drilling (not just BP), I don't believe Congress would either want or be able to institute a permanent ban. They are far more likely to spend their efforts on legislating and enforcing stricter security standards on both old and new platforms.
