Even MORE Reparations, as their will now be civil suits up the wazzoo to “compensate victims” via taxpayer dollars (aka, wealth redistribution).

No mention of the AC plan to protect NO, passed During LBJ that was stopped by environmentalist. Probably the single largest cause. Gee, I wonder why that is?

Do you
know any USACE personnel?
Because if you did, this would not be a very far fetched scenario at all.
Do you even know how the term "civil" engineer came into being?

And here I thought it was governmental ineptitude (read as politics) on the city/county/state-level.

Well now they can’t blame Bush anymore. /s

I thought Katrina was the party at fault. She doesn’t have deep pockets though and is nowhere to be found.
To: Kirkwood
What else could they do? Stop the hurricane.

What does a judge know about maintaining a river channel?About as much as a radical Law professor at running a country.

The judge is another Leftist Clinton appointee per wikipedia.

“Do you know any USACE personnel?”
As a matter of fact, I know a bunch of them, and the job they do maintaining and operating the lock & dam system on the upper Mississippi is impressive, to say the least.
Obviously, you don’t know many of them.
