20 Billion is like Bail money for BP.
The idea that this crime should wend it’s way through the court system is insane.
If I crash my car while driving drunk, I cannot re-incorporate myself to avoid liability. I can’t sell 1/2 of myself like Johns Manville did to avoid their asbestos liabilities. I can’t spend 20 years in court like Exxon did with the Valdez spill. Corp’s. including BP can do these things. That’s why it was necessary and cannot be compared to a human being incurring a liability.
Would Barton rather Obama had arrested the CEO of BP and held him in jail pending BP paying all the claims?
