re: #67 cliffster

Pretty interesting situation. European company, in the Gulf of Mexico, off the US coast. It’s hard to say what is legally doable when it comes down to it. What if a judge orders BP to do X, Y, or Z to their equipment out there, and they say no? Obama is leveraging a giant PR concern for BP to get them to do something. I think that’s a good idea considering the grey area we’d be in if we got lawyers involved instead.

I sincerely doubt that BP would refuse to comply with a court order, at least not if they want to keep their drilling license in tact.
