Interesting issue, hope it gets appealed and more fleshed out in reasoning.

Great, so they have sued to get more taxpayer money to waste.

oK, if he corp of engineers can be held accountable for this, I say a judge should be held accountable for his/her actions as well...so next time a judge lets a criminal out, and that criminal kills someone, I think the victim’s families should be able to sue the judge, right?

Surprise, surprise, this corrupt p.o.s. Stanwood Duval is a Clinton appointment. It looks like another victory for the scumbag “jackpot justice” slip-’n-fall lawyers, but I suspect it will be short-lived. Can’t this be appealed to the court “en banc”?
