At the federal level, the step Bossert cited involves an obscure but critical law known as the Jones Act, which says only American-made, U.S.-flagged vessels can ship products between domestic ports.

If you're having trubble 'memberin ... It also involved the Gulf Coast, and Florida ... and would have completely contained that there massive oil blowout .. Yeah, Hussein.Ø refused to waive it, deliberately causing massive environmental damage when the spill could have been contained. There were plenty of 'foreign flagged' cleanup and containment vessels - and they were not only completely prohibited from entering the Area - Hussein.Ø's administration ordered the Coast Gaurd to intercept and escort them out of the area AFTER SOME HAD EVEN STARTED CONTAINMENT AND CLEANUP. Disgusted to this day.
