Are EPA Dictates, Obama’s Federal Land Grab, Anti-Energy Policies Illegal? The Constitution Says “Absolutely”

The United States Constitution was written in plain, easy to understand, everyday English. That may be part of why it is so difficult for some of our leaders and today’s “wise men” to comprehend; they try to make it more complicated than it is. There is also an unmistakable tendency to disregard portions that are too straightforward for their overly-programmed and distorted minds to comprehend or which don’t agree with their “modern and sophisticated” interpretations.

In reading through the Constitution this morning, as I do from time to time when confronted with the absurdities of the compost pile that now passes for our government, one particular passage happened to catch my attention. It’s one that I’ve read before but, in what may have been my own subconscious submission to the indoctrinated “great thinking” model of  today’s Washington “leadership,” it never struck me in the manner it did today.

In Article IV, Section 3, it states, “The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.”

Now, while the intent of the text may have been focused upon the unsettled territories that had yet attained statehood, there is nothing to indicate such and the word “Territory” is singular, which would indicate all property in general. That interpretation would be consistent with the rest of the text, including the catch all of “other property belonging to the United States.”

This  would seem to invalidate the actions of the EPA, the Interior Department, and the Department of Energy, which, although created by Congress, operate with virtual impunity under the executive branch. There is also the little matter of Hussein Obama and a few of his predecessors using the Antiquities Act to “set aside” land, declaring it to be under Federal Control and then subsequently dictating policies of non-usage or non-development.

Congress has numerous lawsuits ongoing with the EPA and with other agencies which would indicate an ongoing constitutional violation. If they were, as constitutionally required, disposing of and making all needful Rules and Regulations, they would have no need to file a lawsuit against themselves to change their own actions. They also would not be considering abdicating their authority over the waters of the United States to that same rogue agency. The “Emperor’s New Clothes” fairy tale of climate change would not be the dictatorial realm of one insane tyrant who happened to have been manipulated into an unworthy position. It would be under active, not passive and largely indifferent regulation by Congress.

The offsetting of “public land” by the federal government agencies, under the executive branch, involves the restriction of the issuance of oil and gas leases and other rights of development. Those are the assets of the people, not the personal property of Hussein Obama. Congress is our representative body, they’re supposed to be making those decisions for us.

The various animal-preference restrictions, while operating under the auspices of Congressional legislation such as the “Endangered Species Act,” are enforced and over-enforced by the executive branch as well. Draconian, anti-human, anti-American abuses such as the drought-intensifying water policies in California in the interest of the Delta Smelt, the Oregon Spotted Owl with forest sequestration, and the Sage Grouse threats currently hanging over the heads of eleven western states are all apparent violations of the Constitution.

The reason that these actions don’t seem to make sense is because they don’t. We don’t need lawyers to help us understand or interpret the Constitution. It’s simple. If we need a lawyer to explain it to us, then we’re getting a bogus misinterpretation for our efforts.

The abuses of the EPA and other federal agencies have been a “progressive” encroachment on the power of the people, as it is held by our supposed representatives in Congress. That has to change.

The weak, spineless occupants of offices in the Capitol need to stand up for themselves and stand up for us. They have the power, the problem is, they’re afraid to use it. We need some real patriots in those seats who aren’t afraid to do their jobs.

I’m not a lawyer, so if this made too much sense, please indulge me; just don’t try to enlighten me.
