How did we ever get to the point that Constitutionally protected rights can be trumped by a simple bureaucratic ruling? Virtually all of our most precious freedoms seem to be under assault. Washington has discovered they can trump the Constitution passing some law, with a pleasant sounding name, then use that law to wrest the rights of the people away from them, and we have allowed it to happen.
Some guy has a wet spot on his property caused by debris blocking the drainage channel. He removes the debris so his property can drain and is in immediate trouble with the government because some bureaucrat has determined it's a "wetland". Or, the more recent case of the guy in Idaho ( I think it was Idaho ) who got the permits and built a pond on his property. The EPA sweeps in and demands he tear out the pond or face $70,000/day in fines. $70,000/day! What part of the 8th Amendment does the EPA not understand!
Whenever a federal regulation runs afoul of Constitutional Liberties, it is not our freedoms which must step aside. If the fed's wish to make changes of that nature they must amend the Constitution, not just send some unelected bureaucrat to impose their tyranny. FOLKS THIS MUST STOP! I want to make a special appeal to those bureaucrats. Sooner or later, your children or grandchildren will be involved in civilian life. What kind of America do you want for them? Would you wish the kind of tyranny for them that you impose on others? Or do you suppose that you and your lineage will become some kind of elite ruling class, exempt from the laws?
