So BP Now Owns Our Beaches And The Coast Guard?

From the article I posted early about oil entering the marshes comes this very troublesome tidbit:
When CBS News tried to reach the beach, covered in oil, a boat of BP contractors with two Coast Guard officers on board told us to turn around under threat of arrest. Coast Guard officials said they are looking into the incident.
So BP makes the rules now and the Coast Guard acts as their little security service? I wonder who owns the land that CBS was trying to get on. Is it federal land, or state? If it’s state land, then Bobby Jindhal needs to get out there and start screaming about the feds overstepping their bound. If there was ever an argument about violating the 10th amendment, this is it.
We also need all the media to start screaming, and I mean screaming loud, about this. We have BP and the Coast Guard trying to silence the press now? The White House needs to be asked about this and we deserve a clarification on the position of the Coast Guard. Like the military, the coast guard is sworn to uphold the Constitution and laws of this land, not the wishes of British Petroleum.
Here’s CBS’ video report on the spill:
And as Cesca sez; ‘No, no. BP doesn’t get to make any rules any more. They should lose all “rule making” powers. Especially when it comes to beaches they do not own!’
