Auntie Mel, we may all need to stock up on provisions.
The State of New York is suing the Federal Government. Now I read (as in reed, for those as grammar-obsessed as I am) that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is suing the Federal Government over the sale of 21- not 6- ports to a foreign firm.
For those who have been awake for the past six years and not in a dream, the Port Authority, along with the NY Police Department and the NY Fire Department, conducted itself heroically in pulling people out of the collapsing towers and lost lives, too, in the collapse. (I am crying as I write this. I live in New York.)
Well, I wish them the best of luck in their lawsuit. A version of Jefferson's noble statement that anyone interested in how this government is protecting its sovereignty would state is that Those who sell their Defenses in search of Profit, will find neither.
Good luck to the Port Authority, yes, and a Brooklyn Federal court is demanding former Attorney General John Ashcroft's presence along with a gaggle of other Administration officials to explain how the activities engaged in within that district can be anything other than blatantly criminal.
Let litigation thrive, and let the heroism of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey not be forgotten!
