Another government agency is finding itself immune in the face of U.S. law, and this time it really isn’t the fault of President Shrubbery McChimpy. I somehow doubt that he is displeased with the recent decision by a federal judge though.

Stanwood Duval made his depressing ruling on Wednesday; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is no longer part of a class-action lawsuit involving levee breaches after Katrina rolled through. Cited in his decision to allow the Corps to walk away clean and free was the ‘Flood Control Act of 1928’. That is great news for Americans across the board, allowing a piece of legislation that is 80 years old to grind an already gutted city further down the spiral. Terrific.

If it is of any comfort though, Judge Duval gave the Corps a stern rebuke as he dismissed the lawsuit. Somehow I doubt the residents of New Orleans are finding any amount of comfort with the ruling, who have been stonewalled by the Corps for a few years now. I wonder if the Corps believes in the Presidents ‘trusting the American people’ credo. Seems to me they display just about as much disregard and arrogance as the ass in the White House.

Anyway, here is the link and I am out.
