“The EPA said it will respect the court’s decision...”
Horse-hockey. The EPA Nazis will ignore the court and start harassing landowners tomorrow. I was involved in fighting the EPA, and those slimy EPA Nazi bastards did everything possible to impose their illegal diktates.
The USSC shot these Nazis down in Ramponos v US, as they tried to illegally impose laws, even though those illegal laws violated the legal intent of Congress.
Congress had a chance after Rapanos to order the arrest of the entire EPA and charge the agency with sedition. Needless to say, Congress fumbled the ball.
Regarding unpopular EPA regulations, please consider the following. Noting that the Founding States made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide them from Congress, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats such as those running the EPA, please consider the following.
While the states need to keep the land clean, I don’t see where the Founding States delegated to Congress or federal bureaucrats, expressly via the Constitution, the specific to control land in the USA that has not been purchased by the feds as required by either Clause 17 of Section 8 of Article I, or the federal governmet’s eminent domain powers of the 5th Amendment.
References to applicable constitutional clauses welcome.
Thank you
