Congress given her and Nagin immunity yet? Keep your eyes peeled...

If California can toss out the incompetent gray davis then the good people of Louisiana can do the same.

I videotaped that interview. bttt

That's fine to hold both local and state officials legally responsible for their irresponsible handling of Katrina, but at what point should the voter be held responsible? THEY'RE the ones who voted them into office.

Maybe we, the taxpayers, need to file a class action suit against the New Orleans and Louisiana voters. ;-)

"Just watched a legal expert on Fox go thru the disaster event by event. Based on the Law Gov Blanco is legally liable."

The applicable laws were violated every step of the way from top to bottom. In the first instance, FEMA is charged with "before the fact" disaster mitigation by ensuring that effective disaster relief plans were in place at the local level, that exercises were periodically conducted to ensure an appropriate local response, and to contact other federal agencies such as the Army Corps of Engineers to ensure that the levees were constructed to current standards (withstanding a category 5 hurricane) CFR TITLE 44 with the absolute minimization of loss of life and property.

The only reason why Blanco is governor and not working as a clerk at a Walgreens is because enough Louisiana voters saw Bobby Jindal and decided he wasn't white enough for the job.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate."
You see, we are talking about the LAW as it would apply to us, but, these criminals are Dems, and the law doesn't APPLY to them....

[gitmo]

Need some legal beagles to help out here. I was under the impression that state officials were pretty much insulated from lawsuits resulting from actions (or inactions) on the job.

[RightWhale]

There is no statutory requirement for the Gov to even have Disaster Relief. The Gov can declare a disaster and thereby free up some emergency funds. That's about it.

"Based on the Law Gov Blanco is legally liable."


Yes, she threw up every road block available to prevent
relief coming into the Dome and Center. She was never on the same page as Nagin. She played politics while people died. (And she failed to follow her own States evacuation plan already in place). How anyone can "blame" others for her horrible and deadly performance is truly amazing.

I watched Gov. Blanco on Fox on the 8Th of September and she said she would have to test the water to see if it was La. water or toxic. Again on the 9Th. she said she would have to wait for test results before she would be on the same page as the Mayor. God, everyone if wearing masks, experts are commenting on the toxicity of the water etc. and this dumdum gov. is still waiting for her own personal water tests.

Gov. Blanco seems like a total ZERO in all aspects of this disaster, no ans ifs or buts!

[hosepipe]

[ EVEN if the National Dems get the "Independent Commission" there is no way to rescue her based on the Law. ]

Wrong... Clue: the Sandy Burgular affair....
Its not democrats but REPUBLICANS that will give her a pass on this...
RINOs after all are merely stealth democrats.. posuers, shills..

[AckyQuack]

so why isn't she being sacrificed instead of Brown?

[Ciexyz]

Impeachment hearings should commence immediately.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"I suspect that is why Mayor Nagel has been so quiet."

That, and teh fact he's spending much of his time inDallas, where he evacuated his family and enrolled his children in school BEFORE the storm hit.

This action indicates maybe he isn't just the dumb ass he plays on TV, walking around cursing like the cable guy he was as preparation for running a major city.

Hey Freepers! I hope this link is helpful. When the Libs say, "Even Geraldo knew how bad it was in there, Brown *should've* known." Remind them that Brown doesn't get status updates from Geraldo, he would get them from Nagin or Blanco.

So what did Nagin tell Brown AFTER the storm?
Maybe that he won't need the Feds for 4 or 5 days

Hope this helps!
