More specifically, regardless of the chronology of enactment, the general clause can never govern the specific.

But, but.. What about the Commerce Clause, where the very general is held to require all kinds of specifics?

Holy mackerel. Shouldn’t the EPA also have some say in this litigation? I’m sure there must be a wet spot somewhere! LOL!

That’s because the specifics belong to the general, they do not attempt to override it.
