Quote:At the end of the day the EPA relinquished its false claim of jurisdiction. Deal with the facts.


This was heinous. Again, the claim that a stock pond off a creek was navigable waterways would be like putting your son in jail for not completing a federal criminalbackground check before buying a watergun.

 

What's "heinous" is an subjective term.  The fact is that the situation was resolved.  It was actually resolved in your favor.  And to be quite honest, it's my opinion that the EPA's new policy regarding these tributaries and thier jurisdiction seems to be overly ambitious.  

 

Via our federal judicial system, the issue appears to have been corrected.  In addition to that, this is going through the courts to re-think the entire policy that was implemented.  So it's not just a single person issue, but this will affect the entire nation (another good thing about having a federal system).

 

 But because there was over-reach -- THAT WAS CORRECTED-- you think the entire system and the entire agency needs to be dismantled.  That's a silly way of looking at the world.  But, if you just look at it from a Fox News indoctrinated point of view, you see all things that are federal as evil.  I see the system as self correcting.  Sometimes slowing than I'd like, but self correcting none-the-less.
