Make It Retroactive

Obama wants to pass a law lifting the $75 million (Billion? I can't keep track these days) “cap” on how much you can get by suing British Petroleum for damages suffered as a result of their oil leakage into the Gulf of Mexico and making it “RETROACTIVE” to BEFORE the oil spill. Never mind the Constitution PROHIBITS retroactive laws. Obama doesn’t care about that. This government has been making retroactive laws for a long time and NOBODY has done anything about it. He has the armed might to make it stick, so long as nobody with the power to oppose him does anything about his excesses. So he does what he wants, just like any other dictator. (Business Week)
