BP's liability in this case is limited to $75 million per the 1990 Oil Pollution Act. And guess who co-sponsored that act?

Wow, look at some of those names. Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Barbara Boxer - all of these people signed on as sponsors of a bill which capped an oil company's liability at $75 million for an oil spill.

Democrats, you own this one. This bill was passed unanimously by a Democrat House and Democrat Senate.
