Good optics but...As long as Barry says the rule stays, the dems will make sure the rule stays. And the GOP knows this. Ergo, another dog and pony show.

"Good to hear."

Indeed, but is this a piece of legislation that needs to pass both houses and would be subject to filibuster or Presidential veto? Could Obama's phone and pen keep the draconian regulations going forward?

Then they need to override his veto.

They should .... but I don’t think they will/can.

Personally, I think we’re running out of time .... will the country make it to the finish line (the end of Obama’s reign of terror) before he damages us to the point of no return.

Be that as it may, it’s moving along as it should - there’s always a chance to overturn a veto.

The EPA is hated and it’s hurting the economy.

That’s where the Democrats/UN want this to go.

You forgot: road side ditches, cow hoof print, puddle in a parking lot, or where a dog relived himself on a fire hydrant.

I share your concerns. Do the agencies that are supposed to carry out the legislation have more power to enforce their regulations or does Congress, who passed the law? What is happening with these rogue agencies and bureaucrats is not what the founding fathers envisioned.

Incredible, isn't it!!!!

Incredible that all these fascist bills are churning around virtually unknown, hither and yon in the marble halls of DC government while the media and the know-nothing public feast avidly on juicy "rampant police brutality", the Great Escape and Jender-Bender morsels.

The Teflon president in the White Mosque has been catching breaks virtually every day for months and months, even years, now.....a never-ending series of bizarre events which distract the lumpen proletariat from concentrating on their own losses of freedom, economic assets and private property......not to mention their own rapidly-approaching demise as INDIVIDUALS with sacred rights derived from God.....and not from Omnipotent Government.

Not every puddle of water or creek bed is a navigable water way.

This rule is just another attempt to circumvent the law. The law says they can regulate “navigable waters”. The EPA has already tried this twice, and both times they have lost at SCOTUS. The law is above any rule, and when taken to court again, again they will lose. I would say to everyone, if it’s not navigable waters, ignore them.

Navigable for what? A rubber ducky?
