If you're pouring gasoline or oil into the river = should be illegal
If you're pumping out coal smog = should be illegal

That's not the issue is it? too much government overreach too much power in the hands of a few bureaucrats

'Little guy' wins high court fight over property rights

Washington (CNN) -- The Supreme Court gave an Idaho couple another chance Wednesday to challenge a government ruling barring construction of their "dream house," an important property rights defeat for the Obama administration.

The justices unanimously ruled Chantell and Mike Sackett can appeal a compliance order that said wetlands on their residential lot were improperly filled with rocks and dirt. A building permit was then revoked.

"Since the agency's decision was final and since the Sacketts have no other adequate remedy in a court, they may bring their suit" under federal law, said Justice Antonin Scalia.

The couple's supporters had billed this as "David vs. Goliath" fight against the Environmental Protection Agency.

"We're here to stand up for the property rights and the constitutional rights of all Americans," Mike Sackett told CNN in January, when the case was argued at the high court. "We felt blindsided by the EPA, and we remain determined to fight.

you are a fucking retard you know this? Its about not polluting water that can move down stream and affect others.
I dont give a shit about your "freedom" to dump shit in water.

Oh NOW you fucking care. I tried to tell you back at Hannity.

Some days I just want to smack you guys upside the head. I tried to tell you back then.

So it's OK to dump toxic chemicals in water lands where people get their drinking water?

why do you keep bringing straw men argument that aren't relevant to the situation?

The Sacketts bought a small parcel of about two-thirds of an acre in the Idaho Panhandle in 2005, near the shores of the resort community of Priest Lake. They hoped to build a three-bedroom home, surrounded by neighbors' houses, and had obtained a county permit. Gravel had already been laid for the foundation when EPA officials told them their land was a wetland. That barred any development.

and? you dont get to have things just because you are a human being you moron.

Don't question the government? you're the idiot. Just because the EPA says it, doesn't make it so. That's the problem with you libs, faith in government is your religion

So another thread for conservatives to bitch about how they don't get the benefits of society for free, and how unfair it is they have to help pay for it.

Deal with it, conservatives. Nobody likes freeloaders, and you won't be allowed to freeload, no matter how loud or how often you whine that you have the god-given right to freeload.

What was the topic again?..What are you babbling about?

huh?

.

1%er is using typical prog non-thinking: "If you disagree with the EPA, you obviously want to force everyone to drink toxic waste!!"

Either-or. Black-and-white. No reasonable balance in between.

Binary thinking. What they always accuse conservatives of, but practice themselves.

Wrong again!

Rules are in place because someone screwed over or tried to screw over someone else.

Example: When I made improvements to my seawall in Coronado, I (my contractor) had to go through an extensive permit and inspection process. Why? In 1980, some guy decided he didn't want to tie into the sewer system for his new house, so he dumped his raw sewage into San Diego bay by placing a pipe through his seawall. Thus, we have regulation.

Republicans deregulate rules to screw over the middle class.

Example: The HMO act.

You do nothing but prove me right. You do know that, don't you?

No. You probably don't.

the Clean Water Act was originally for protection of waterfowl and wetlands.....it has been warped to outlandish ends in order to control all water....and when the EPA controls the puddles in your yard it pretty much controls all private land...and controlling land in turn also means that it can control food production...a necessity people need to live...

once the socialist ghoulbalists control all water, food production, and property.... the world will become their slaves....

The Clean Water Act, for example, forces cities to remove at least 30% of the organic material in waste water before treating it. But what happens when the water has virtually no such component? Anchorage, Alaska, asked the Environmental Protection Agency what to do. The EPA ordered the city to comply.

To do so, Anchorage had to ask two fish-processing plants to dump 5,000 pounds of blood and guts into the water, which the city then removed. The EPA is happy."

.

That's entirely screwed up.

See, normal people would have said, "Oh, if you don't have the organic material to begin with, don't worry about it."

Non-thinking government bureaucrats (the kind of people the left insists should make all our health-care decisions) decree the water should be deliberately polluted and THEN cleaned.

Screwed up.

Oh, then you're against free healthcare, welfare, and Obamaphones.

Now go ahead and tell me that's different. Somehow. It just is.
