....and they promise to garnish Democrats and Republicans equally.

Wait....many Democrats don't have wages?

Someone, PLEASE tell me that a revolution is close at hand.

By-the-way, thank Richard Nixon for the EPA.

Here's the actual Federal Register notice, which includes instructions on how to send comments on the proposed over-reach/rule:

And of course, federal wages are exempt. Anyone surprised?

HAD ENOUGH YET..!!! :(

I wonder how much ammo the EPA bought...?

[ForYourChildren]

Outta control.

I think the EPA needs MRAPS, and guns and ammo to enforce their random and spurious decisions. Oh wait, they already have their weapons.

So if the EPA decides the mud-puddle in your driveway is a wetland . . . . .

Since no one is going to stop them, I guess they do indeed have this power.

So much for the concept that the government exists to serve the citizens.

These people see themselves as Royalty and Masters Of The Universe.

They are the Americas Kings, Queens, Lords, ladies and dukes and we are their pesky serfs.

The entire federal government (and most state governments) need a good flush and a scrub with a steel bore brush.

Maybe lye or sulfuric acid would be strong enough but I doubt it.

Thank the Framers for their constitution of 1787.

Simple question to Republican candidates for POTUS: “Do you have a list of federal employees of the EPA, IRS, ATF, Justice Department, FBI, NSA, etc., who have clearly broken the law and will be fired when you assume office, prior to federal criminal charges being filed against them? As well as those who have already left office to evade criminal charges?”

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others.

The EPA sounds like the California Franchise Tax Board.

As mentioned in related threads concerning constitutionally undefined “independent federal regulatory agencies” like the EPA, please consider the following.

In the case of the EPA, the states have never delegated to the federal government, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate environmental issues, environmental protections a 10th Amendment-protected intrastate power issue. So the EPA is wrongly based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers. And with all due respect to the family and supporters of the late President Nixon, and while I serously doubt the willingness of private industry to self-police itself concerning the protection of the environment, Nixon was wrong to sign the bill that established the EPA.

And even if the states had delegated to Congress the specific power to address environmental issues, the Founding States had also made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, to clarify that all federal legislative power are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in nonelected bureaucrats like those running the EPA.

So Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not. And by delegating federal legislative / regulatory powers to nonelected bureaucrats, Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above.

As a side note concerning the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, please consider the following. The states would sure be a dull, boring place to grow up and live in if parents were to make sure that their children were taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood. /sarc

Looking forward to the litigation.

What don't you folks understand? Gauleiter McCarthy can run her Reichsgau as she damn well pleases.

I'm sure the Fuhrer made that clear when he first took power.

People in this country has, with a few short exceptions, been run by a democrat fascist Congress for the past eighty years. What the National Socialist Democrat Authoritan Party wants, the NSDAP gets so why should they care whether or not something they do is legal yet?

Democrat fascists can be sure that if they want to do something it'll be legal for them to do it before long. If there are repercussions for doing it a little early they'll be pardoned. 99.99% of the time the worst that can happen to them is they leave government and are given a well paid position within the democrat academic propaganda machine.
