Isn’t it the right of the States to determine this? Where does it state in the Constitution that the feds have the right to demand this. Just as our water rights......they belong to the States....not the feds.

It's right there emanating from one of the penumbras.

Technically, yes, this should be a state by state issue. But guess what... the US Constitution means absolutely nothing now. States' rights died with the Civil War.

Accurate but irrelevant. The Federal Government is in charge of the very air you exhale.

You obviously haven’t been keeping up with the push to federalize all waterways in the US.
