...Unless one branch has a pen and a Blackberry. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the "checks and balances" of the three branches aren't so 'balanced'...and haven't been for some time. It's easy for me to point out a problem from my "arm-chair", but damned if I know how to fix it if the elected representatives flip-flop on the issues they ran on to get elected.

.........Unless one branch has a pen and a Blackberry...........

We either have a Constitution or we don't.
Legislative..... Executive..... Judicial......
Powers are clearly defined.
If it doesn't work like that we have anarchy.
And then we go back to the Declaration of Independence.
........."
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."............
No more politics.
Please.

Elected representatives make laws.
That's what we elect them to do.
Agencies do not make law. They promulgate regulations that are supposed to implement the laws enacted by elected representatives.
Congress has the lawful right to regulate governmental agency's actions.

Right, elected officials enact laws...however, "staff", (those are the "bureaucrats" spoken of) generally lead and advise elected officials in deciding which laws they will introduce, prepare synopses, write the actual verbage of the law, and, help implement the laws once passed. This is true from city governments to the federal government.
Between bureaucrats and courts, most of the actual work of writing, tweaking, and interpreting our laws is taken out of the hands and workload of most elected officials.

Sorry to get your blood pressure up, William, but it was kind of the gist of the thread (EPA/ridiculous regulations).

...And "at this moment in time, and due to change", I'm going with Creamsicle, Automatic (bad clutch knee, lots of traffic to deal with), premium seat (624 hrs. of 'seat time' per year), and a premium stereo (not Skyzmatic) would be sweet.


Again, sorry to ruffle your feathers, but I do like, and agree with, your viewpoint on the Gov't.

"based on bull sh*t"?? well there are many laws concerned about BS- one of the most polluting CO2 emissions on the planet comes out a bovine's rear-lol. When do you guys sleep? I turn-in at a normal 11-12, awake 7 to see threads yards long!!

I'm thinking the animal related excessive CO2 emmissions problem will be offset by getting the high mpg Elio on the road as quickly as possible and then it will be totally eliminated by future test tube beef production.

Wouldn't it be nice if they had to write their own stuff?
Less time to get into trouble.

Actually, I believe it's methane that's the issue. So we need to bottle the stuff and run it in our Elios all the way to the butcher shop.

The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range. Three weeks later, a cow walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes. He took the precious book out of the cow's mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!" "Not really," said the cow. "Your name is written inside the cover."
