Reply #72: the legal argument again [View All]

Why keep presenting arguments that have been so thoroughly debunked?

No one is calling for the government to have equipment, have solutions or anything else. We are calling for those working on the solutions and who have equipment to be accountable to the federal government, not to BP not to a hodgepodge of uncoordinated authorities and private interests.

The Constitution is the only law needed to authorize the government to step in in an emergency and protect the public welfare. The government has a duty to do that. It is the main reason for its existence. We all have a duty to demand that the government do this.

The federal government cannot deal with what? Protecting the public interest? If you are saying that, then you just damned the administration far worse than any critic ever could.
