But he is not the only organic grower to suddenly discover federal inspectors trespassing on his land.

Above is my edit, obviously. You cannot pick and choose what rights the fedguv has based on behavior you wish to modify. They can't have the right to infringe upon your ability to grow and consume a plant on your property, but not have the right to determine what crops you can grow and how they are grown.

You have to see these rights generically applied. If you don't like them applied in one circumstance, you can't like them applied in any circumstance. I only point this out to folks who have no problem allowing the interstate commerce clause used in ways they approve on the one hand, and disapprove of it in other ways.

Choose a side. It's not complicated. Stepping off my soapbox to go grab some Pho.

This is one of those shoot, shovel and shut up moments.

Feral Agent from whatever under Obastard = Agent of tyranny = legitimate target.

The federal government has NO rights. It has only powers, delegated by the States in the Constitution.

Only people have rights.

Oh YES they do, it's from a disastrous commerce clause ruling from the new deal era... Wickard V. Filburn Read it and watch your blood pressure rise...
