BP should bear full responsibility for the Gulf oil spill according to the rule of law. It is entitled to due process. The politics surrounding the $20 billion dollar fund and the latest Congressional show trial are an embarrassment.

If the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats had not blown hundreds of billions of dollars in the 2009 “stimulus” bill, perhaps we could have provided the Gulf regions with several times $20 billion in immediate and special disaster relief (with recourse against BP according to the rule of law).
