The federal government has NO power or authority under the Constitution to provide disaster assistance to anyone.

That is the function of the State or the People.

I am aware. But that’s not the way the system is set up at the moment.

The stand isn’t wrong. The feds shouldn’t be involved. But, the system is set up for fed involvement, and Oklahomans can’t really wait around for the ship to be righted.

This is not the hill to die on. Constitutionally, we’re not wrong. But, in public opinion ... we will lose. If we choose to stand and fight aide to people flattened by a tornado ... we will die on this hill. This isn’t a fight we can win right now.

Save the FEMA fight for another day.

Correct. FEMA is a cluster****. I say this as someone who used to work with them extensively.
