Judge blocks EPA water rule; EPA say they will defy injunction
americanthinker.com ^ | 8/28/2015 | Rick Moran

A federal judge has ruled that a controversial regulation that would give the Environmental Protection Agency jurisdiction over small streams and ditches is bureaucratic overreach and has halted the implementation of the rule.

The judge was not pleased with the EPA, who said they would go ahead and implement the regulation in the 37 states that did not sue to end it.

Like that's surprising these days. Benghazi docs, Pfft! lois lerners email, Pfft! Hildebeasts server, Pfft! Hildebeast BlackBerries, Pfft! These assclowns ignore subpoenas, court orders, injunctions and anything else with impunity and nobody gives a crap. Any surprise why Trump is ahead? Maybe some folks think he won't put up with this crap.

The government needs to be bitch-slapped to sleep then slapped for sleeping!

This damned government is out of control and our so-called representatives are utterly worthless. We have allowed ourselves to be ruled by an assortment of pansies.

EPA says the H€LL with Courts when they don’t win. However, they love decisions when they do. EPA, just another lawless Agency controlled by a lawless President.

Nothing will stop this government, but force. No single Federal Judge will be allowed to stop the Marxists.

So then arrest them all, or they will do exactly that.

Wouldn’t it be easier for states to withhold any taxes that they send to Washington and to start closing down federal offices in their states?

What would Washington do?

I believe it was a subcontracted operator to the epa that busted to the thing open. Not knowing the terrain specifically, could someone on a D-9 not have pushed a berm up to stop the flow? Like I said, I’ve not looked into the terrain and geology in the area so maybe the berm idea wasn’t an option.

The states need to arrest any EPA officials within their territory flaunting the federal court’s ruling...

Jail time for the refuseniks, period. And cut their budget or is Boehner afraid it will affect his liquor allowance?

No indictments, no warrants, no US Marshals dispatched. Yawn. Blatant violations and the spineless continue to waffle.

EPA is just playing the game of follow the leader.

Is there such a thing as contempt of court anymore? Judge needs to slap them all in jail.

Massive civil disobedience is needed.

Well Chris, that little issue goes back to all the harping I have done over the years about lesser evils and the idiots that insist they are better than any Dem.

WHO EXACTLY in all those people, the leadership who campaigned ON WORKING WITH OBAMA, is going to do the arresting .

Who?

Nobody, thats who. Because thanks to all the ‘pragmatists’ we have no one with principle empowered to do it.

Maybe all the Freepers that screamed ‘WE’LL HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE! with complete impotence will step up to the plate.

“Is there such a thing as contempt of court anymore?” Nope. Just contempt for law abiding American citizens. Purty durn sad.

This administration of lawless dictators must be purged all the way down to the lowest operational level. They are a national cancer.

Of course they will. Getting their claws deeper and deeper into property and land rights.
