I went to (and graduated) from a four-year university, which is why I know, among other things, that the
Coast Guard is authorized to intervene in local disasters without state authorization, that the US govt. is allowed to provide technical
assistance without state authorization, and on top of that,
that the Bush administration has never had a reputation of obeying laws, certainly not ones that it felt would only inconvenience it in the pursuit of an objective, and last but not least, that it's very unlikely the state of LA would've
raised a Posse Comitatus objection had the feds offered immediate assistance, given the scope of the disaster. Hello, obvious
