If it rains on it, the Feds will control it.

Even your front yard

Obama can also claim dominion over the Republicans. They will say nothing, do nothing, and stop nothing.

I would predict about 50,000 new Fed Water Inspectors. The layed off hacks from Acorn can only apply.

This is like the immigration debacle, a matter for the courts.

Lacking a super majority, there can be no veto proof legislation in the Senate

How would the American Colonists treated those agents of England that would have gone out to enforce such laws?

“This rule is about clarification”

******************
Yeah, right. Not if you’re the target of this ruling.

We no longer have laws; we only have rulings, decrees and executive orders.

Twenty-five years ago I looked up the definition of “Wetland”. IIRC, it was “Any land where the ground in saturated within 18 inches of the surface for 30 days out of the year.”

“Wetlands” was also determined by types of vegetation, among which “Dogwood” was listed. At the time we lived on a small ridge line at least 300 feet above the elevation of the creek.

Yep, we had dogwoods AND saturated ground less than 18” down (clay) during April, at least.

The moves comes as part of the Clean Water Act and federal officials say they are simply trying to help businesses comply with regulations.

The most frightening sentence in the English language is, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

We’ve come a long way from the “navigable waters” originally contemplated.

I wouldn’t mind them taking a hard look at some of the roadhouse urinal troughs. Plenty of standing...umm water there.

That galvanized sheet metal is down right flimsy.

Does the congress not have a say in EPA’s budget?
