The U.S. Supreme Court just handed a 8-0 slap down to the Obama Administration. The Obamaites via the Corps of Engineers told a small Minnesota company that it had jurisdiction over its property because it was a "wetland" despite being 120 miles from the nearest river. This declaration made the property functionally unusable because of all the Corps' rules and regulations. Oh, and BTW said the Corps, you can't appeal this decision to the courts. Really?
Not surprisingly the Supremes disagreed with this imperial decree and unanimously said "Not so fast there fellers." As far as the Court was concerned, the agency had made a final order that was appealable, as a long line of Federal cases had held "... where such proceedings carry the risk of ‘serious criminal and civil penalties." If the Corps' action had been allowed to stand, then the Feds could have asserted jurisdiction to regulate anywhere water existed in the U.S., that is - everywhere. Grandiose does not begin to describe the designs of the Left.
