What We Need Is More Government

[Weatherman2020]

Taking a cue from the Supreme Court, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated the conviction of U.S. Navy veteran Joseph D. Robertson who languished in prison for a year and a half for digging fire protection ponds near his home outside Basin, Montana, without federal permits.

Federal regulators claimed that Robertson interfered with a “navigable water” —a small ditch with a trickle of water—when he dug the ponds. The Environmental Protection Agency declared the ditch a federally protected waterway under the Clean Water Act and required a federal permit—even though his home is 40 miles from the Jefferson River, the nearest navigable waterway.

Robertson died March 18 at age 78. He used to operate a business that supplied water trucks to fire-fighting agencies. Robertson was also fined $130,000. In November 2018, he asked the Supreme Court to look at his conviction after it was upheld by the 9th Circuit.

The EPA should be abolished. By far the most draconian agency in the government.

Not just an isolated incident either. In California we had a nearby creek that you might get your ankle wet in declared navigable waters by the EPA.

Where’s the pollution coming from in this case, Einstein?

"Should have" not "should of" you semiliterate leftard and the 9th Circuit gets almost nothing right. It's a political cesspool, not a legit court, and it casts a disreputable shadow on our most defining American tradition … justice.

Please don't ask her a logical question. It makes her middle school brain hurt.

Explain how eliminating the EPA would result in city provided water or bottled water becoming polluted?

The EPA should be strong. Then of course the bottled water companies want everyone to have to buy their water. Can you say the Devos.

The Grand Rapids company produces and fills the recyclable cartons in Holland and Lindon, Utah.

"Boxed Water in Meijer gives the Midwest market a simple choice to buy a pure, sustainably packaged water, compared to the standard plastic options." said Matt Merson, Boxed Water's vice president of sales.

Boxed Water is also sold at Target, Whole Foods, Giant Eagle/Market District, Holiday, Kum & Go, Hy-Vee and Fresh Thyme Market.

The company was launched by entrepreneurs Kevin Hockin and Benjamin Gott in 2009. The Windquest Group, a holding company owned by Dick and Betsy DeVos, now owns the business.

We don't need the EPA , we can buy boxed water. I think the right gop rich people hate the Green Policy plan of the Democrats, they will have competition.

Amazing how many people substitute "of" for "have".
I was beginning to think that I was the only one that knew.

Thanks!

The 9th circus is noting but a bad joke. The supreme court overturns those nitwits often. That freakbshow needs to be spit up and half its bench replaced with sane people you can read and understand the constitution.

The 9th Circuit Court made it right by vacating the conviction.

So we were all drinking polluted water before there was an EPA?
