Sure looks like it. Another textbook example of the problem(s) created when the federales stick their nose in places it doesn't belong. Once again I studied Art 1, Sec 8 of our Constitution to determine which of the enumerated powers this dog and pony show falls under. Lo and behold; NOTHING there! It's fairly apparent I lack the mental acuity necessary to discern the nuances that emanate from the document.
But we all know this three ring DC circus is not really about saving the hooty owls, farting darters or whatever the endangered species du jour. It's all about the feral government using a touchy-feely false premise of saving the ________________(fill in with appropriate cute baby seal or other class of creature) to wrest power from the states and the people.
Thanks for the ping.
