"The governor said he didn't have the authority to overrule the Coast Guard's decision, though he said he tried to reach the White House to raise his concerns."

Sorry, Bobby, that's a FAIL on your part. As many have said, you should have told the Coast Guard to respectfully "F**K OFF!" and called in your state militia to protect the barges while they continued their work.

Calling Uncle BO in Washington to tell the Coast Guard to stand down made it even worse. Did you really think he'd be there for you? Do you not understand that these sorts of orders come from the very top?

FAIL, Bobby, FAIL. Do not even think of running for president anytime soon. You need to grow a pair, first.

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.
