Re: Priests Risk Arrest for Offering Sacraments to Catholic Troops During Shutdown
That argument is just as weak as your contract argument. Those parks and access roads have been used and utilized unabated with zero problems. And of course...when it is a group you want to pander too...hey...SURE...go ahead and use the national mall...its not closed to YOU guys...
Just...ridiculous. The administration is behaving like a spoiled petulant child. It is absolutely fair to say both parties and houses of Congress bear the responsibility for their actions (and greater for their INACTION that led up to this). But 'credit' where credit is due. And its just COMICAL that you are defending the Administration for sending MORE PEOPLE THAN WHEN THEY WERE OPEN to shut them down. Make em bleed!
I showed you...Ft Huachuca and every other military installation has their contractor personnel in place and operating. You are grasping at a silly straw.I showed you it. It is actually more likely that the contract with Quantico is the one that has a special provision to overcome the law, rather than the others having a contract that goes with the law.
Whether you want to understand it or not, they cannot allow people to congest roads outside a park that has to be closed because people are determined to see the sight despite the shutdown. They cannot allow people in parks that have to be closed, on government property that is maintained by federal funds, no matter whether people don't understand that or not. There was no military chaplains to operate the chapel so yes, it had to be closed. It sucks but it is politics and it is petty to blame this on Obama, especially placing all the blame on him.
