How a 'Hillbilly Brigade' saved an Oregon town from raging wildfires

 

Residents of Molalla went to sleep on Labor Day thinking it was safe from the wildfires, but unusual wind gusts stunned forecasters and officials and pushed the fire north at a rapid clip. In the early morning hours of Sept. 8, it looked like Molalla would be engulfed in flames, just as towns in southern Oregon had been.

 

The brigade formed quickly, amassing people who knew one another well and knew the difficult terrain all around them better than any outsider. They were lumberjacks and dairy farmers, friends and neighbors, cobbling together rudimentary equipment.

 

The brigade filled a vacuum left by the absence of any government help, he said. The fires raging across Oregon have depleted the state’s resources to battle the unprecedented blazes.

 

“I was in horrible disbelief that nobody showed up,” he said.

 

The Oregon Department of Forestry said it was overwhelmed trying to fight fires across the state. Its district near Molalla has just 26 firefighters and not near enough equipment to respond to the massive fires in the region, said spokeswoman Joy Krawczyk.

 

“We cannot be everywhere at once, as painful as that is,” she said. “As first responders, it’s heartbreaking to us that people on the ground felt abandoned.”

There was discussion earlier today about a recess appointment if needed:

 

"The Constitution not only assigns to the president the task of making nominations to the Supreme Court, setting off Senate review that may or may not result in approval, but it also gives the Chief Executive the opportunity to fill a vacancy on the Court temporarily, bypassing the Senate initially, if a nominee languishes in the Senate without final action."

National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning, 573 U.S. 513 (2014) [The case arose out of Obama’s appointments of Sharon Block, Richard Griffin, and Terence Flynn].

I don't think two are realistic, but you never know.

Yes, the President is the Chief Executive. Sorry, should have been more explicit.

 

The U.S Constitution sets for the following:

 

Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, which states: “the executive powers of the United States shall be vested in the President of the United States." Section 1 goes on to specify the Presidential Oath, in which the President promises to "faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." In addition, Section 3 requires that he or she "take care to see that the laws [are] faithfully executed.".

cont.

 

Potus, as Chief Executive, has sweeping duties/powers for all executive functioning including:

 

the president "shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided

 

Upon nominations, the Senate must "advise & consent," which means = total shit show in Trump era
