If you want a prime example of Federal over-reach, look no further than the US EPA, which puts landowners into a position of not using their land. or face severe penalties if they do.....without any recourse, including the judicial system. Ed Morrissey writes about a couple in Idaho who couldn't sue the EPA, until the EPA sued them. It's an extension of Agenda 21.
This is happening in the United States of America. Today. For real.
