Supreme Court reins in water act

 Get Liberty:

...

“The federal government can no longer turn a drainage ditch into a regulated waterway as the Supreme Court decided in Sackett v. EPA that attempts by the Environmental Protection Agency exceeded their regulatory power.

“Thank goodness common sense is being restored somewhere in America. No one in their right mind would consider a drainage ditch on a farm to be a regulable body of water under the Clean Water Act, yet federal regulators subjected a couple in Idaho to $40,000 a day fines over whether they could operate farming activity around a ditch. Prior to the Supreme Court opinion, the EPA interpretation of the Clean Water Act effectively gave the federal government operational control of much of the land in America. Freedom lovers have been given another ray of hope that the U.S. Constitution and the liberties it guarantees still survive in American, even as the rotting administrative state continues to thrust itself into every aspect of our lives. One would think that with the West Virginia v. EPA case and now the Sackett decision clearly cutting the bureaucracy’s reach that radical regulations would be on the downturn, but unfortunately the Biden administration continues to produce regulation after regulation disconnected from the laws passed by Congress and the Constitution in an attempt to direct the economic future of the country through red tape intimidation.

The fed restrictions would make farming impractical in much of America.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
