Oh . . . is that how the system works? Fancy that, eh.
So, let's see here, us little citizens are supposed to sit at home and study four to five thousand poorly written and excessively wordy regulations every year. Then, we should draft opinion responses to each of them and mail said response to our three legislators on Capitol Hill and the imposing regulatory bureaucracy. And, in so doing, we are to expect that someone, somewhere will actually read and honor our response.
Does that about sum it up?
My point is that the whole of the regulatory system is unconstitutional to begin with. The Supreme Court told the FDR administration so. Then, FDR browbeat the Court into submission. That's American history. Clear fact.
That FDR got the Court to concede eventually does not change the fact that the whole procedure is still unconstitutional. The whole of the "War and Emergency Powers" scam is completely and totally a violation of the Constitution. Those powers are not granted to the federal government by the Constitution. Therefore, except through the use of force, they do not have any of that authority.
We have a word to describe people who enforce unconstitutional laws: criminal.
It's as simple as that. They either honor and obey the Constitution or they do not. If they do not, they are in violation of the supreme law of the land.
So, if I believe anything whatsoever the Founding Fathers and the first Congress published, I would also have to believe that the federal government is the largest single criminal class in the United States today.
It's either that, or it was the writers of the Constitution who were liars, cheats and dishonorable scoundrels. Today's system is but a sick parody of that government designed by the Founding Fathers.
Although the system is designed to environmental law, it is applicable to nearly every agency of regulatory government. The implementation strategy is incremental and will drain the agencies of those who are worth saving. The system relies upon civic respect for private property rights.
