Just let me know when you're ready to address the issue. I'm not interested in platitudes about law when we aren't afforded equal protection. There are rules that permit what should be done, but it has become much more important not to "upset the market". A single judge can rubber stamp it, and it would be legal, and it's off to the races. But it ain't gonna happen. The perps are going to walk, as they already have so many times, and it doesn't end here. The government already in violation through its neglect. And if this were a single individual, you would be all over 'em if they didn't do something.
RICO makes it legal. It's not about BP. The banks are much worse Just because we benefit from their actions, it does make them any less criminal. We have the right to put a stop to it, but apparently not the balls...
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that law is only in and of itself, not supposed to serve any higher purpose at all. Justice will just have to wait until the law is satisfied. What's that old saying about justice delayed?
In life there is no justice, only law... In the afterlife there is justice
Bush took more time off than any of his predecessors... But who the fuck cares about Bush? He's not president anymore. What Obama could/should have done is issue an executive order freezing/seizing all BP assets to insure the taxpayers wouldn't have to pay for the cleanup and loss of income to the locals. He should order the DOJ to subpoena all BP documents, all of them, even the dirty pictures and illegal downloads (that should please you, of all people) on their computers He should have forcefully maintained the moratorium and demanded a full inspection of all existing rigs. A president can do those things. Like Nixon said, it's not illegal if he does.
The real wrong is our failure to resist these encroachments. It might not be expected of the Chinese, but the Americans... WTF! It's been almost 40 years since people have made any real attempt to alter government/corporate policy. Now they only complain if their favorite TV show is canceled.
Yep, sure do. It was pushed by a particular political party that makes a lot of noise about personal freedoms. Not that the "opposition" put up any.. These people should be charged with wasting the court's time that is spent striking them down. How often do we need to remind them what the 1st Amendment actually says?

"...moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"
So this means I can keep my old tires out back full of stagnant water again?

What? I can't hear you!
I said, you have a camera in your ear!
I can't hear you. I gotta a camera in my ear...
Let's say I bomb your country into the stone age. Should I be grateful to you when you stop? Should I be happy if you give me bag of rice?
Of course it was the previous administration's fault.
Yeah, we heard quite a lot of that from the previous administration over 9/11... I guess it happens all the time.

Now go away, troll!
...should be banned from US waters...
That's a contingency they did plan for...
I'm sure that no one wanted to stop the news leaks more than BP.
You're welcome...
...China, one of the worst human rights violators on Earth...
We need a blacker black.. The whole world is wimping out for the love of money.

Will they make me super intelligent?
That's why you shouldn't kill the messenger. Kill everybody who listens instead.
That's why they get paid the big bucks! Otherwise they aren't worth shit.
You didn't mention if you were uploading, and why would you want your friends and family to sue you?
They will take that little factoid over to congress and cry, "Help! We're being bled dry here!"
9/11 - Never forget
Hmmm, Let's see... If I extrapolate this right, The US will regain its freedoms in 2018

Bu bu but, General Pinochet... You're supposed to be dead!!
And coming from places you would hardly expect, considering their history. US influence on the wane, and look how freedom really blossoms.
Thus hath the candle singed the moth.
