Had Federal authorities ordered an evacuation of N.O. and Katrina

So are you saying that we shouldn't evacuate when a storm threatens
because if the storm doesn't hit just right it might make the president
look bad?

"I must admit moreover that it may not be easy, in every possible case, to
trace the line of separation between the rights of religion and the Civil
authority with such distinctness as to avoid collisions and doubts on
unessential points. The tendency of a usurpation on one side or the other,
or to a corrupting coalition or alliance between them, will be best
guarded by an entire abstinence of the Government from interference in any
way whatever, beyond the necessity of preserving public order, and
protecting each sect against trespass on its legal rights by others."
James Madison, fourth U.S. president, and "Father of the Constitution"
