Fine, just adjust salary of the bastards that authorized this to $1.00 per day, and get some pittance of justice.

We're complete river poisoning incompetents and there's not a thing you can do about it.
If some company or individual did this same thing the EPA would force them into bankruptcy and pick over the carcass.

This “sovereign immunity” doctrine is nowhere in the Constitution.

Seems like a nuke might be the only force that can neutralize them.
Barry Goldwater talked about the development of clean nukes, too.

Take the money from the EPAs budget

Sell off the EPA office buildings, desks, computers, chairs, vehicles and close down their expense accounts.

This is such crap....sovereign immunity only protects from LEGAL acts in good faith...it does NOT cover illegal acts or protect incompetence that covers harm to others.

Not only bankruptcy, but prison for the corporate officers and management responsible.

Problem is, the people are sovereign in the USA, not the federal government. Not that the courts recognize that, that is until the people remind them, it seems.

I don’t want to neutralize the EPA. I want to liquidate the EPA.
And that’s just a small part of the virtual impossible task (”but for God”) of dismantling the 70-80% unconstitutional portion of the feds that MUST happen if we are to recover our Free Constitutional Republic.

The issues are not mutually exclusive.
The EPA will likely not be shut totally down but will be throttled down.
As I look through the vapors that is the political reality.
There were people damaged by the debacle. The solution was offered. Go to Federal court or go to Congress. Congress is the answer. The damage is not unlike those of a severe flood or hurricane. Congress can appoint a commission to sort through the claims and authorize payment.
