The standard they sought in law was whether or not a sawed plank could float in it.
Sometimes they won ~ and those waterways (hah!) are still federally regulated waters if somebody ever wants to regulate them.
The base legislation here does need to be rescinded though. It's as much a piece of garbage as the navigability standards of the early 1800s.
Pretty soon it will be like Olde England, where you couldn’t fish the kings pond.
He is an evil bastard.
An associate bought a house on high ground miles from any river, with a drainage ditch in the back yard that is normally dry. He started to inquire about mitigating the erosion and found that, get this, the Army Corps of Engineers claims regulatory authority over this ditch. He also found that it will cost north of $10,000 to perform the required engineering study about his proposed repairs. And he was warned that the Corps would probably object to his repairing the ditch. Whose interest is being protected by such absurd tyranny? It appear that the only “environment” that is protected is the bureaucratic one.
Just defund the damn EPA. I hate the EPA!

Put both his hands in cuffs...
Implying the American public can handle only one issue at a time, thus the premise that asking about "A" means "B" cannot be handled simultaneously.
Of course it is not true.
It was a distraction to Obama however, who had to do important things like tape an Oprah show.
