What? How the hell can they get away with that?
The telling quote is here: Hat tip, Jeff.
Just one problem: Once again a government entity (FEMA) has decided that the Constitution ends where the city limits begin.I've run into this during my career. In a past life, I worked for the Gret Stet of Louisiana and worked out of an office run by a career bureaucrat. One day we got a policy memo telling us to do something or other, and I went to this bureaucrat and told her that we couldn't do what the memo wanted us to do.
Her: "Why not?"
Me: "It violates the law of the State of Louisiana."
Her: "But this is Division policy and policy supersedes State Law."
Me. "You might ought to think about that before you say it anywhere else. The legislature thinks they make the laws, and that they run the state. If you tell them that the Division policy supersedes the law, they might pass a law forbidding you working for the state."
Thankfully, we got the policy overturned when we pointed out the legal problems to someone with a brain. The boss in that office didn't have a brain. Most bureaucrats don't have brains, and it looks as if the ones at FEMA aren't using theirs either.
Louisiana is one of the most pro-2A states in the nation. This idiocy won't stand for very long either.
As far as bureaucrats are concerned, I think we oughta take them out and beat them regularly. The stupid ones more frequently than the smart ones. This beating can either be physical or not, depending on how best to treat the disease.
The nitwits at FEMA have gotten beaten quite a bit lately, yet they just don't seem to learn.

Hey, that sounds like a good plan to me!
