Why are some Republican Leaders and Pundits taking the side of BP over the Gulf Fishermen?

There's a little thing called the "Rule of Law." We either have it... or we don't. The White House overstepped it's authority Big Time. We either have laws in this country... or we don't. If Obama was concerned about the Gulf fishermen, he'd be focusing on stopping the leak and mopping up the mess than showboating his toughness with BP.
