Texas didn't have to wait for the lawyers, it was an agreement signed between the governors (a mutual assistance program) long before the disaster struck.

There have been conflicting stories, even today, about what happened. The Red Cross and Salvation army were right there with the aid supplies (how do you suppose they got them) but were turned back by the LA authorities.

Evacuation is the responsibility of the local government. I recall clearly hearing General Honore asking (via the media) to PLEASE have the mayor contact him because he could not find the guy.

I appreciate the fact that you have no loyalty or alliance with the US Constitution, but the rest of us do.

Nice legalese but tell us now if the helo rescues by the military -from day one- were done w or w/o your prized "permission".
