| EPA overrides Congress, hands over town to Indian tribes |
| 2014-01-09 |
| [Daily Caller] Have you heard the story of the residents of Riverton, Wyo.? One day they were Wyomingans, the next they were members of the Wind River tribes -- after the Environmental Protection Agency declared the town part of the Wind River Indian Reservation, undoing a 1905 law passed by Congress Oh, but that was a long time ago. We were all so much younger then. and angering state officials. The surprise decision was made by officials of the EPA, the Department of Interior, and Department of Justice early last month, and has invoked the ire of Gov. Matt Mead, who has vowed not to honor the agency's decision and is preparing to fight in court. "My deep concern is about an administrative agency of the federal government altering a state's boundary and going against over 100 years of history and law," Mead said in a statement. "This should be a concern to all citizens because, if the EPA can unilaterally take land away from a state, where will it stop?" States are history, get over it. FEMA regions are the future. |

| #11 Powers of representatives Representatives generally do not hold the power to select other representatives, presidents, or other officers of government (indirect representation). These representatives are elected by the public directly by organizing elections . (Not any more in of all places, the United States of America) |

In a few weeks, you will be contacted by your district gauleiter who will provide you with new identification documents (you must retain these documents on your person at all times) and also explain your new duties as a worker in good standing. |

| #8 Have the EPA officials arrested for treason against the state of Wyoming, have a trial, convict them, then execute them. It'd send a strong message about states rights and put some proper fear into these vermin. |

| #4 The EPA needs to be utterly destroyed and the ground where it's offices are located salted so nothing would ever, ever, ever, even think to grow there again. So much for the rule of law. Now we have an Imperial Emperor and his Imperial Court of Czars, Robed Princes of the Realm on the Supreme Court, and little lords and lordlings in the various departments each declaring their little edicts and rules... |

| #1 I guess each agency can do what it wants now. Obama has no control over anything. NSA, IRS, EPA are a law unto themselves. Like congress, 100-200 years mean nothing. As with congress. congress can make the laws and congress can change the laws. |
