>>While you might get a majority to say this or that is unconstitutional it opens up the entirety of the mess to a level of scrutiny that would bring every special interest in the world into play. <<
BINGO!
No so.
They're the first line troops for Agenda 21 - BMI is another - they are tasked with getting control over every inch of land and water in the country..and they've been preforming far more efficiently than most any other gov't agency you can name
This is nothing new. When I first started working as an adult, this was a constant struggle against federal bureaucracies and blatant overreach. These ditches were declared "navigable waters, with a straight face. By the Corps (corpse?) of engineers.
The purpose was totally transparent, the attempt expanded to absurd lengths until they tried to declare winter puddles and farm/ranch dug water holes off limits for private use. Eventually there even didn't have to be water there for more than a few weeks. If water related plants grew there even "ephemerally," the private ownership was compromised.
Thus the Supreme Court had to slap down the abuse, almost entirely exercised by lifetime career bureaucrats, eventually. Several times.
Almost every agency of the Federal government now, primarily after the EPA and it's multiple daughters were hatched and enforced, have had their shot at grabbing jurisdiction of all waters, nationwide wherever they are. I'm not sure about the Interstate Commerce thing...
What does "Body Mass Index" have to do with the topic?
OOPS! ‘meant BLM -
I’m too old for all these acronyms :)
