Jurisdictional battles over what constitutes “waters of the United States” have been going on for over 100 years.

Under Justice Antonin Scalia’s plurality opinion, which PLF argues is controlling, there must be a “relatively permanent” water flow to a navigable body of water, such as a river, lake or ocean.

Even there, Scalia is enlarging Federal reach. The standard was once commercially NAVIGABLE waters only, once determined as sufficient to accommodate a vessel of 12 DWT (dead weight tons).

Maybe 0bama’s afraid the couple might find some Qurans laying around? Or this is a trial balloon for more intrusive plans by 0bama to just all-out confiscate private property.

The fed gov is just thinking Forward. Increasing control over the wilderness will help keep people in the corrals of cities and towns. Makes secession and self-reliant compounds less viable, too. Increases that interdependence thing that is the dark heart of socialism. You can be in a desert, but you’re messing with somebody’s river. If the gov has to redefine water, so be it, but let’s all be interconnected so the gov can decide who has rights, when, and where.

Build a mosque on it and see what happens.

But make sure the grout of the mortar has pig urine in it first, otherwise you may have some wandering Moslems on their knees when your back is turned.

It’s obvious. Obama doesn’t want to dictate the control of ALL the land in the US. He only wants dominion over the land upon which it rains.

What I'd do ('maybe') is clean it up in the dead of night. When the EPA Nazis come back just act SHOCKED!.. and say ...
'Well, the Illegals crossings OUR LAND must have cleaned it up. That, or the Space Aliens we saw land last week took it all with them when they left.'
