Sarah Palin thinks that pressuring BP to create the $20B escrow fund is a Nazi tactic. Whatcha think?

I'm not sure if its a Nazi tactic but it could be considered a thug tactic, no matter, whatever it is it isn't legal because that's why we have courts. When you have a criminal problem you charge the business or person with crimes. If the problem is civil in nature you sue them in court. The President is an administrator not a federal attorney, lawmaker or a judge. Obama actually forced a foreign business that has not been charged with a crime and has not been ordered by a court of law to pay any damages to pay a $20B. For what? Was it damages? What is the $20B legally considered to be? Here's are some more questions I have: Would the plaintiffs have received more money in court rather than what they will receive with the Obama strong arm method? Can the affected states, counties, parishes, businesses, or individual citizens sue BP now that they made this deal? Are people agreeing not to sue BP or the federal government which is their legal right in order to receive this payoff? I don't think this was a good idea and I believe BP could sue the federal government if lawsuits grow and their legal position becomes convoluted because of this deal.
