The problem here is that the Constitution handed over control of the navigable waters to the federal government. The Governor knows this.

So, what to do? ~ or, more realistically, what to do short of insurrection?

The oil continues to pour out, the federal government continues to do nothing to stop it, sounds to me like someone needs to go to federal district court and ask for an injunction against the federal government which will stop them from further dwadeling ~ maybe an injunction to prohibit the Coast Guard from preventing the state of Louisiana from protecting itself.

Just thinking of how Coast Guard would answer the request ~ at least we could start putting a face on the fascists in the Obama regime who are trying to destroy the country.

They have families. They have friends. They have neighbors. Certainly they'd not care to be hiding out the rest of their lives ~ so they'd have to provide some sort of rational answer to what amounts to a serious crime against the nation.

Get those vacuum boats back in the water and force the Coast Guard to make them stop through means of sheer force - THEN make the federal government explain to the nation WHY they did that.

The Governor should not have backed down to idiotic legalities and process - he should have done what any real leader would do, and that is protect his state and his people at whatever cost.

Just as in Arizona, when the federal government REFUSES to do the job that it is constitutionally mandated to do, then the Governors of those states MUST take back that responsibility from their failed central government, and DO WHAT MUST BE DONE TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY.
