What bothers me is that they blew his wife's head off while she was holding her baby in her arms.

What also bothers me is that the autofellating crew at NPR (who normally foam at the mouth at that kind of thing) never seemed to cover, let alone emphasize, it.

NO Cheers, unfortunately.

While we slept these past 70 years, Congress assigned its lawmaking responsibility to unelected agencies. No Congressman, not even the worst rats would legislate such fines. For unelected agencies to write their rules, establish enforcement and punishment for violations is the definition of tyranny. We let this happen. It must stop. Lean hard on your Congress-critters.

This is the same mentality exhibited by the ATF when the gentleman at Ruby Ridge refused to go spy for them, and so they entrapped him into sawing off the barrel of a shotgun, then threatened him with a felony conviction.

Then they shot his dog, his son and his wife before it was all over.

Excellent blogs/vanities.

I especially appreciated the words of Locke who said legislatures could not assign their legislative duties.

Well, a few weeks ago I listened to Justices Breyer and Scalia, in a jovial and friendly Senate hearing, say in so many words that lawmaking by agencies was almost always just peachy and Constitutional.

We are no longer governed. We are ruled. The problem with the EPA is not that it writes outrageous rules, but rather that it is allowed to write any rules at all.

Hire temps, in batches, on short term contracts. If someone isn’t working out, simply decline to renew the entire group. Sucks to be them, but once the word gets out maybe ‘peer pressure’ can keep troublemakers in line.

>The couple then sued the EPA so it could get a court decision on whether it’s a wetland or not before they build; the theory of their lawsuit is that if the EPA is right and they are wrong, they want to know it before they incur ruinous fines.

They should have incurred the ruinous fines and then added to their challenge of it the 8th amendment.

Maybe somebody should whisper to the EPA that Co-op City sits on a former wetland! Shouldn’t the environuts demand it be torn down and the land restored to its original, pristine, swampiness? And maybe the land-raping co-op owners should be forced to pay for it!
