Judgement Day: No Justice for New Orleans

It's now official.
U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval ruled today that the Army Corps of Engineers

"squandered millions of dollars in building a levee system ... which was known to be inadequate by the Corps’ own calculations."

And then he ruled, as most everyone expected he would, that the Corps couldn't be sued for it: The Corps is immune under the 1928 Flood Control Act.

"it is not within the Court’s power to address the wrongs committed. It is hopefully within the citizens of the United States’ power to address the failures of our laws and agencies."

Is it within our power to address those failures of our laws and agencies? With Edwards out of the race, will anyone continue to speak for New Orleans on the national stage?
