Emne: Re: ffshore oil drilling moratorium, imposed by the administration in 2010, was unconstitutional.

Artful Dodger: So it's constitutional for the likes of BP to poison and create havoc with the lives and businesses of non oil related industry?

(V): Another great post of yours. Every time I think you cannot surprise me any more, you prove me wrong.

Pedro Martínez: Why thankyou. It's nice to know I can still surprise such a knowledgeable person such as yourself.

Care to share why you are so surprised?? Or would that be a bit naughty in dialogue for this and other BK boards??

(V): I am surprised by your excellent understanding of what is and what is not constitutional and what makes unconstitutional actions constitutional. Maybe you can provide me with some insight into the matter as well. Am I correct in thinking that when I do something that is prohibited by law or other standards, the government authorities will be authorized to act contrary to law or even constitution in order to take a remedial measure?

Pedro Martínez: I'm surprised that in light of recent events in Egypt you keep on about constitution!!

"Am I correct in thinking that when I do something that is prohibited by law or other standards, the government authorities will be authorized to act contrary to law or even constitution in order to take a remedial measure?"

If you have broken the law you seem to think and feel that you are above the law and get away with it, based on some old constitution that (in the matter of deep oil drilling) never was designed to deal with some of the problems that in todays day and age we face?

... by the laws of the UK I can still as an Englishman go and shoot and kill a Scotsman with a Longbow (so I was told by a soldier about a year ago)..... does that make such a killing lawful and right?
