States have to accept and/or request FEMA assistance. No violation of the Constitution. If you want to blame someone for them being there, blame your state's Governor.

that's great and all.. but ahhh.. why didn't they do this for victims of Katrina ?? But instead bought thousands of cheap mobile homes and then took them away just last year(?) or shipped 3/4 of the displaced ppl to other states INSTEAD of sending most to camps close by till they could figure out what was what....

seriously.. post any references of what their line of reasoning was behind this ??

/cheers

I would have to say it is because FEMA, now a part of the Department of Homeland Security, was directly controlled by these two during and after the Katrina disaster:



They were not much help here after Wilma either. There's a saying that comes to mind: "The speed of the leader is the speed of the team." Remember, the same leader during Katrina sat dumbfounded for 20 minutes for a photo op knowing that the country was under attack and that three more hijacked planes were still in the air! Speedy is not an adjective I would use for the Bush Administration in connection with emergency response!

As I have since stated, I'm not defending the competence of FEMA by any stretch of the imagination. When it's properly managed, it works. When it's not, it fails miserably!

Not any longer they don't. That was changed by congress with the last adjustments to the Patriot Act. Look up Swine Flu Alert. Now they can just waltz into your home, office or business, throw you down and inject you.

If this is the case, it's time to get the Supreme Court involved! This would violate the Constitution and is an abuse of power by DHS! I have always found the Patriot Act as unpatriotic!
