We won’t agree that the Feds have not only the right, but the duty to regulate toxic substances (water is not inherently toxic - but local, state, and fed regulation of water quality to assure public health is also a responsibility of the government).

Yes, water is inherently toxic. Too much and you dilute the electrolytes but let's not get into science since this is a fun political thread while I watch AMC.

If I recall correctly (and I read it a lot), the word duty does not occur in the Constitution. What basis did you have that this is ok?

Again, you don’t seem to be able to read and type at the same time - water is toxic when taken in too high of quantity. Do you have statistics on the number of people who die from water toxicity each year?? I’m betting it’s pretty low. How much crack or meth (for an example) is toxic to the human body? I’m betting it’s one hit of either (yes, long term exposure has huge detriments over a one time use - but how many people who use drugs do it only one time?).

With respect to the use of the word “duty”, that was me rendering my opinion. After all, that is what has been taking place throughout this dialoge.
