uch. To his credit Napolitano held his own. “I am not standing up for BP…I am standing for the rule of law,” said Napolitano before making the rather tenuous argument that the oil companies should decide where to drill because they are the ones losing the money.
After watching it, I thought that Napalitano made some insightful and thought provoking comments. He's absolutely right about the insurance comments, and the remark about the federal government "inspecting" or authorizing BP to drill a certain place or a certain way, with absolutely no subject-matter expertise at all.
Even Obama acknowledged that the fedgov had no earthly idea how to stop it and all the industry expertise was with BP. If that's true - as I assert it is - how is the fedgov supposed to effectively "oversee" it?
“The rule of law.”
Why, what a quaint, old-fashioned notion! Does anyone pay attention to that any more?
The Judge did more than hold his own, he deftly put Shep back in his place.
