Obama Using “Endangered” Species to Kill Economy, Push Extreme Agenda

''Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kind of cool.''

As we reported recently ("Regulators R Us: Feds Crank Up Regulations — on Everything"), the Obama administration is resorting more and more regularly to executive usurpation of legislative powers to advance a radical agenda that Congress has blocked. We noted:

In 2011, Congress passed 81 bills into law. During the same period, federal agencies promulgated 3,807 regulations — rules that are treated as if they are binding law. These agencies are under the executive branch, which means they are under the president. However, under the U.S. Constitution, the president has no authority whatsoever to make laws. Neither do any of his subordinates. The president’s role is to faithfully execute (i.e., administer) the laws passed by Congress, provided of course, that said laws comport with the Constitution.

The very first sentence of Article I, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution states: “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States.” It is difficult to get plainer and more definitive than that: “All legislative powers.” Congress is the legislative branch, and it possesses “all legislative powers.” The executive and judicial branches have their own peculiar jurisdictions and purviews, but their powers do not include lawmaking. Nor does the Constitution allow the Congress to sublet or delegate its lawmaking authority to the president, bureaucrats, or judges.

Congressman Paul Gosar - Antiquities Act Executive Order: An Opportunity to End a Monumental Abuse of Government Power

Over the last 20 years, presidents from both sides of the aisle have used the stroke of a pen to lock up hundreds of millions of acres using the Antiquities Act, but none more egregiously than President Obama. In 2014, then-President Obama said, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone. And that’s all I need.” This braggadocious one-liner was the basis for devastating monument designations by the Obama administration. President Trump’s recent Executive Order directs Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to review national monuments created by the Antiquities Act since 1996 that exceed 100,000 acres and to coordinate with local stakeholders. These communities that were shut up and shut out of the charade of discussions surrounding national monument designations deserve a voice.

Over the past century, presidents have utilized the Act a total of 233 times to designate roughly 840 million acres of land and water as national monuments. This staggering figure is in addition to a massive federal estate that now exceeds 635 million acres. President Obama’s unprecedented abuse of the Act locked-up an astonishing 553,599,880 acres, or 66% of all land and water designated as a national monument under this century old law. No one in their right mind could possibly believe that 553 million acres is the “smallest area compatible” for these new monuments.

GOOD OBAMA STORY..

yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn


but Trumps POTUS now .. well. he has the title anyway.

He is fighting it. 10% new government regulations..........CFR's than other Presidents. And he's killing 2 old regulations for every 1 passed.....even more.

He is attacking this measure via executive order to investigate the land acquired by the Federal Government, and the rules of law on how monuments are designated.

And what does that have to do with the FACT that 1 MAN WITH A PEN can DESIGNATE A MONUMENT in this country???????????

It is done via executive order. No ratification.

No land has been seized. This is a bullsyte thread if ever there was one. All the lands the OP is alleging to have been seized were already public lands owned by the citizens of the US via the US Government. The use and designation of the lands were changed to save them from exploitation and destruction.
Trump told another one of his lies when he called designating already US owned public lands as monuments a "land grab".

Yes it has, your just too much of a sheep to see the obvious.

What Is the Antiquities Act and Why Does President Trump Want to Change It?


“It’s time to end these abuses and return control to the people, the people of Utah, the people of all of the states, the people of the United States,” the president said..

Another lie to misguide the public. The lands in question in Utah were never under the control of the state of Utah. The lands have always been under the complete ownership, maintenance and protection of the federal government

the best part is you don't even believe your own sheep

One legacy of the Obama Administration is the massive amount of land seized by the Federal Government declaring them a monument. How much did he claim compared to other Presidents. Let's take a look.

How did he do it...........Let's take a look.

What is the current administrations take on it.

Should the President of the United States be able to designate Monuments without approval from Congress and/or the people?

"Supreme Court Told EPA to Go to Hell"

The judge lies, saying the case is being sent back to a jury of landowners and wrongly predicts an outcome. All this ruling did was confirm that the property owners had a right to appeal and due process. It was sent back to the original court. No house has been built on the property and the case is still in the same basic status as it was ten years ago. In other words, after the winning ruling by the SCOTUS and the implementation of the due process, the original ruling by the EPA is still in force.

And still, this case has nothing to do with National Monuments.

Eminent Domain
Eminent Domain is the right or power of a unit of government or a designated private individual to take private property forpublic use, following the payment of a fair amount of money to the owner of the property. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S.Constitution provides, "[N]or shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." This statement iscommonly referred to as the Takings Clause. The theory behind eminent domain is that the local government can exercisesuch power to promote the general welfare in areas of public concern, such as health, safety, or morals.

Eminent domain may be exercised by numerous local government bodies, including drainage, levee, or flood controlagencies; highway or road authorities; and housing authorities. For example, if a city wishes to build a new bridge, and theland it needs is occupied by 60 houses, it may use its eminent domain power to take the 60 houses, remove the buildings,and build the bridge. The government must make just compensation to the affected property owners, who are entitled to thefair market value of the property.

The power of eminent domain is exercised through condemnation proceedings. These proceedings establish the right to takethe property by the government or designated private individual (usually Public Utilities) and the amount of compensation tobe paid for the property.

Private Land-Use Restrictions


Takings of Private Property
The Issue: The Fifth Amendment provides that private property shall not be taken without just compensation. What actions of government constitute "takings"?

Introduction

The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment is one of the few provisions of the Bill of Rights that has been given a broader interpretation under the Burger and Rehnquist courts than under the Warren Court. It is a clause near and dear to the heart of free market conservatives.
Only certain types of takings cases present serious interpretive questions. It is clear that when the government physically seizes property (as for a highway or a park, for example) that it will have to pay just compensation. It is also clear that serious, sustained physical invasions of property (as in the case of low overflying aircraft, for example) require payment of compensation equal to the difference between the market value before and after the invasion. The difficult cases are generally those where government regulations, enacted to secure some sort of public benefit, fall disproportionately on some property owners and cause significant dimunition of property value.

Eminent Domain has never been used to acquire National Monument Land. That is why you have to evade the original challenge to provide evidence of even one single acre of private property being seized for a National Monument.
Lands used for National Monuments are already the exclusive ownership of the federal government that are designated as public lands. Public land designations determine the uses of specific lands. Each designation has its own rules, regulations, and priorities for specific uses.

National Monument is a designation that has preservation and protection as a specific priority and use. Unlike other designations such as National Park, National Forest, Bureau of Land Management, etc., the National Monument designation does not require a great deal of expense to maintain and operate. Simple preservation through enforcement and minimal maintenance are legally and technically all that is required. Expanding uses for tourism can be added or maintained and is done so with input from local residents and businesses. Current tourist attractions can be maintained. For example, a road or path leading a scenic view or other tourist attraction or attractions can be invested in by the government to help support local businesses in the area.

Thank God for President Donald Trump!

 

[eagle1462010]

Let me repeat the numbers. 553,555,000 acres of land turned into monuments under Obama's watch.

More than DOUBLE all the other Presidents combined.

While he tries to justify that it's Ok because it was already Federal Land he doesn't seem to GRASP the Point that this is
ABUSE OF POWER, PERIOD.

He did this using a over a Century Year old Law that needs to put into a shredder.

We can use LEGAL MEANS through the Legislative Branch to overturn this. Perhaps executive means to lower the size, but with the law we cannot undo what Obama did without passing new laws to get rid of what was done.

NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE THIS POWER.

Way to go Obama!
