Dangerous waters
Topics: Political News and commentariesWhen judicial activists and radicals look to the law in order to warp it to their agenda, and the government supports them, we're entering dangerous waters. Sometimes, that can be literally: Slippery Slope 2: A Water Slide With Govt's Bid to Control America's Waters:
[...] This time Congress is attempting to take under its control all water in the United States, even that which sits on or under privately owned lands.More ...Senator Russ Feingold (D, Wis.) has introduced S. 787, legislation that is meant to help alleviate the confusion that has occurred for litigants since the 1972 passage of the Clean Water Act. Since '72 a series of confounding decisions have put agencies and users in a quandary as to the implications of the act and its authority.
Unfortunately, Feingold's revision of the bill makes matters worse. Oh, sure it solves the question of authority, alright. But it solves it by seeming to claim that the federal government controls all of America's waters. From the puddle in your back yard, to the aquifer under your property, to the stream on your land, to every last rivulet, farm pond (even man-made ones), and navigable waterway, it's all Uncle Sam's if the over broad language in this bill is to be believed.
Of course, to start with we have to know what "water" means according to the law. At the tail of the bill, a new definition of waters is given.
Is there no end to what the liberal Democrats and their radical supporters want to control in our lives?
