I don't think anyone disagrees that the courts are the place where disputes between BP and, say, fisherman should take place. I still don't see why the Obama administration can't make its opinion known on the matter. Furthermore, since the environment is part of the public trust, the government is the damaged entity in that matter. To top it off, if the government sees that current laws don't adequately deal with the situation, I see nothing wrong with them working to fix that.
