The power of the Legislative being derived from the People by a positive voluntary Grant and Institution, can be no other, than what that positive Grant conveyed, which being only to make Laws, and not to make Legislators, the Legislative can have no power to transfer their Authority of making Laws, and place it in other hands.

Good stuff. Unfortunately, the EPA heeds neither Locke nor the Constitution. Legal action might be possible, but Anthony Kennedy and 4 other mindless SCOTUS judges ruled in that CO2 is a pollutant that the EPA can regulate.

“And what is to stop them from suspending this proviso or denying the legal actions?”

Don’t have an answer for you. Conservatives have respect for the rule of law. If that respect ends, the consequences to this country could be devastating for everyone.

Look at our history. After 1783, Americans took revenge against the British loyalists. Only a plea from leaders in the revolutionary movement stopped the shootings, stabbings, hangings and other acts of revenge.

What happens if the Washington criminals continue ignoring the rule of law? I don’t know.

Great post.

I agree. The EPA and almost all of these government agencies should be abolished.

Why do liberals and other people trust government or government agencies ?

I do believe they will ban yeasts, so there goes the beer and booze.

I do believe the Endangered Species Act will protect the little beasties in yeast.

It'll be great to have the government agencies suing each other to death in court. They won't have time or the resources to bother us.

I’d like to see a coalition of Congressional candidates (including some incumbents) signing a new Contract With America to eliminate the EPA, the Department of Education, to repeal any Health Reform laws, to re-open Guantanamo Bay, to eliminate Capital Gains taxes and to lower tax rates.

Oh yeah, repeal the Hate Crimes laws.

I’ve never heard of the DQA. Why isn’t this more prominent in discussions?

“I’ve never heard of the DQA. Why isn’t this more prominent in discussions?”

For the same reason that people haven’t heard of ClimateGate - the fascist MSM refuses to report it.

There are a number of laws we can use to slow down and destroy the criminals in the federal bureaucracy. The Data Quality Act is one.

The DQA, in my opinion, is one of the crown legislative jewels passed by the Bush administration. Metaphorically, Bush set a ticking timebomb in Washington to blow up the fascist bureacracy.

As the Endangered Species Act (ESA) included the right of citizens to sue, the DQA includes legislation for citizens to demand answers from the federal fascist bureaucracy, and sue them if the answers aren’t adequate. The key is that all regulations MUST be based on provable, objective science.

The DQA is a counterbalance to the ESA. It gives citizens the right to DEMAND answers and if the answers aren’t adequate, the right to sue the federal fascist bureaucracy. But it goes beyond that. If the bureaucracy doesn’t follow the DQA law, the regulation is nullified, cancelled and thrown in the sh*tcan.

There’s a secondary part to DQA that demands that courts MUST base their decisions on proven, scientific data. The SC decision that the EPA may regulate CO2 as a pollutant is crap. The SC did NOT follow the law as passed by Congress. This is where the Congress must step in and warn the SC that it must follow the law. If it doesn’t, the Congress has the power to step in and tell the SC that it can’t rule on CO2 matters. I believe it’s in Section 3, article two of our Constitution. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong.)

Of course that won’t happen unless we get conservatives into Congress with the will to tell the SC what it can and can’t do.

Let me sum up because this reply is getting long. The obuma administration and Congress are ignoring the rule of law, including the DQA, and the court is ignoring the Bush and congressional command that the courts must use objective scientific facts to arrive at decisions.

The ghetto thug obuma is in power solely because conservatives believe in the rule of law. Should conservatives decide that the rule of law no longer applies, the country will be in serious trouble. King obuma and his fascist democrat party will not survive. Neither will other aspects of our Republic survive. Without the rule of law, we’re animals in the jungle carrying out the law of the jungle - the most fit will survive.

We are in an extremely dangerous period for the survival of the republic.

So that, gitmo, is a brief synopsis of the DQA.

JMHO.

Excellent. Can I specify the format of the data provided? I don’t want tractor-trailers of paper showing up on my front lawn. A few CDs in SQL XML format would be fine.

I would begin by contacting the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The people there have been fighting the federal fascist bureaucracy for decades. Very smart and experienced people. They can tell you what format must be used to challenge a regulation under the DQA.

I believe CEI is here:

If you’re thinking of filing a lawsuit, don’t go to your local federal judge unless he’s a federalist member. Try to file the suit before Federal District Court Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff.

Zatkoff is a strong constitutionalist who has tangled with the fascist EPA before in Rapanos v US. His judgements are sound, tight and constitutional. His rulings have been heard by the SC and been upheld. Zatkoff, in my opinion, is one of the gems in our federal court system.
