Thank you for referencing that article george76. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots, regarding the constitutionally undefined EPA, please consider the following material from related threads.

The states have never delated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for environmental issues. The significance of not having enumerated powers to address environmantal issues is the following.

Previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified, in broad language, that power not expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds are not only prohibited to the feds, but Congress cannot appropriate taxes in the name of such powers.

But even if the Founding States had delegated such powers to the feds, there are still major constitutional problems with the EPA.

More specifically, the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide these clauses from Congress (sarc), to clarify that all federal legislative / regulatory powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in faceless, non-elected bureaucrats such as those running the EPA, IRS, FAA, EEOC, DOL and CRC as examples.

So Congress has a constitutional “monopoly” on federal legislative powers whether it want it or not. But by unconstitutionally front-ending itself with non-elected bureaucrats who are effectively running the country, Congress is wrongly protecting legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above, such powers actually mostly 10th Amendment-protected state powers that Congress is letting everybody in the corrupt federal government steal from the states.

In other words, corrupt lawmakers are wrongly letting constitutionally unauthorized federal officials get away with stealing and exercising state powers so that federal bureaucrats can do Congress’s unconstitutional and unpopular legislative work for it.

By allowing this to happen, lawmakers are able to keep their voting records clean so that they can fool low-information patriots, patriots who don’t understand the fed’s constitutionally limited powers, into reelecting them imo.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to not only support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and unconstitutional interference in state affairs as evidenced by the actions of the unconstitutional EPA.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Won't matter they will just run for Congress, Hastings paved the way. Not that Congress will do anything anyway.
