Just imagine. You want to build a home, so you buy a $23,000 piece of land in a residential subdivision in your hometown and get started. The government then tells you to stop, threatens you with $40 million in fines and is not kidding.
That's the case now before the U.S. Supreme Court, with briefs being filed today by the Pacific Legal Foundation on behalf of a Priest Lake, Idaho, family, Chantell and Mike Sackett.
Attorney Damien Schiff, who will be arguing before the high court in the case, said it's simply a case of a government run amok, and it poses a potential threat to perhaps not every landowner across the nation, but untold millions.

With this and the asthma inhaler ban, I think it behooves state and local governments to actively protect their business from the feds and make fed interference free zones. Tell the illegal anticonstitutional laws of the feds to shove it.
I think I’ll keep this saved for the next time I hear someone say “If we don’t like what our government does, we can just vote it out next election”.
It’s rather funny that in light of all the hooplah that happens when elections come around, the politicians who need to be kicked out are virtually untouchable.
Haha! The two of them now have new names in my book. Thanks.
Just speaking of it as a strategic issue, the EPA wouldn’t send any of **their** people out to the property to interfere with you. They will send a cop or a US Marshal. And as you and some hapless US Marshal shot it out,,, the EPA SOB who made all the decisions in the case, who laughed at the 40 million dollar fine threat, would be headed off to lunch in a nice restaurant.
Until tyrants feel personal fear, nothing will change.
Just food for thought. But say a known associate of a Mexican cartel or a Tony Soprano type started to build that house in that same area. Wonder if EPA man may stop and think about a few things before he tried to ruin that person financially. Things like the safety of his family, his kids,,,or whether the car might explode. Things like maybe becoming a victim of a tragic “random” mugging.
People in much of the world know this ethos. It would be a shame if our agency bureaucrats acting as tyrants caused that inevitable behavior here. While fear is not what we want our government to feel about the people. A government EPA mole that has a smirking absence of fear, is a bad and provocative thing.
Hey EPA. Never piss off an attorney named “Damien” (Damian). You saw the movie and you know what he can do.
Drop the case before you join his father.
On second thought, even Satan has standards. He’ll never let you in. The first thing you’ll do is to regulate the heat of Hell and bring in OSHA.
Your cries of “global warming” will drive him insane.
Oh the horror of it all!
Thats where the county sheriff comes in handy.
A lot of times the sheriff can stop these proceedings. They can hold up mortage sales.
People dont know what power the sheriff has. It is a lot of power.
nobama’s minions have infiltrated every level. The EPA is just another fascist arm trying to destroy your freedom. The Pacific Legal Foundation has a long history of fighting these faceless tyrannical minions. Research the PLF and support them in our fight against these anti-Free-America creeps.
if its a county level ordinance, the sheriff is the one tasked with enforcing the payment [in my case]...
"vote em out" is a nice thought, but i believe most would go along [sheriff and population both] with the program since it represents the 'clean' air or water 'for the children' meme...
the loss of FReedom and badge backed thuggery is well established across the country...
Did you see their latest?
Good points. And food for thought towards a new set of strategic operational parameters. Should the need arise, of course.
Out of control bureaucracy reference bump ...
The EPA currently has over 18,000 employees.””””
Barely a blip on the screen of the 400,000 each week who are finily NEW unemployment claims.
They can file claims for themselves.
END THE EPA.
I will vote for the Republican candidate that convinces me that they will do exactly that on their first day in office.
Next time you get a bill from them - pay a penny over (drives them nuts:>)
