Characterized as Obama Administration water rule, the new regulations reinterprets Clean Water Act giving more regulatory power to EPA and to Army Corps of Engineers. The rule was scheduled to take effect Friday.
They're going after every little stream that could be a tributary, every temporary runoff stream, every temporary mostly dry arroyo, every tiny pond, anything having to do with water that could possibly affect any other water, namely all water, every pond a farmer might dig, every pool, every koi pond, mountains of new paperwork left for states to complete.
North Dakota filed the injunction in the name of thirteen states on behalf of all fifty states, so says N.D. Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem who filed the injunction. But EPA is not having that generous a reading, they demand another smackdown directly preventing action in any state not mentioned otherwise it's business as usual and they plan to enforce the new rules in the remaining thirty-seven states.
It's like training a dog. Poop here, not here. Then, you didn't say don't poop here, you didn't say don't poop here, you didn't say don't poop here, you didn't say don't poop here. Eh, bad example. Dogs are a lot easier. Most times they cooperate and its not always such a power trip.

Thanks for the heads up. I had not read this anywhere else. You are our Drudge.
This is the most lawless President in history. Federal Courts hate this Administration. And to think this guy is a law professor. If you want to understand history you must appreciate irony.
The nameless, faceless bureaucrats that populate the executive branch agencies have become a bigger threat to our liberties than the douchebags in Congress. They're partisan, they ignore the law (see Lois Lerner) and none of them can ever held to account. This is why I'm slowly becoming a Trump fan. I don't know that he's commented on these agencies, but he's the guy who could put the fear of God in them.
Great post!
Add some poop pheromones to the DC mall pool and the EPA will go to it to regulate, like wee-wee pads.
In Obamaland, you will never not be breaking the law. Under the new EPA rules, you can be fined for using your toilet (polluting wetlands), flushing your toilet (wasting precious national resoures), and for NOT flushing the toilet (failing to remediate black water).
Given their track record, the EPA should stay as far away from the environment as possible. They are NOT trustworthy or credible stewards of the environment.
