#1 Congress needs to fish or cut bait. The head of EPA is acting like their boss O.
1. Declare the Director of the EPA to be in contempt of Congress. Have her thrown in jail.
2. Go to the second in command. Demand the information. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
3. Subpoena the Director to testify and answer questions. If caught in a lie, then turn over to Federal Court. Indite for lying under oath. Rita Lavelle of EPA was convicted of lying under oath and sentenced to 6 months in jail, 5 years probation and 10K fine. Go after their pension.

It is important for congress to follow up NOW and show these lackeys that Congress means business. EPA or rather the Administration has the utmost contempt for Congress. They need to be reminded that none of them are above the law.

#3 (in this case)...the emperor will rule through the bureaucracy rather than the governors.

#6 Have SWAT storm the building and arrest everybody!

Oh wait... they only do that to the serfs when they want to terrorize them.

#8 Notice to the executive and legislative branches: If you do not remedy these out of control unaccountable disobedient bureaucrats, sooner or later, the people will take action. Violently. And you will be targetd due to your failure to reign in these criminals.

#10 FYI that wasn't a threat from me, just an observation that there are people ready to move on to a different box, since the first 3 don't appear to be working anymore. And once violence starts, it tends to become uncontrollable, and broadens the targets indiscriminately.

Our erstwhile government has been immersed in beltway culture so long they have lost touch and lost sight of a large segment of th nation and the willingness & capability to take violent action when deemed necessary.

#11 Increasingly, the word Despot has begun to enter my thoughts about this unlawful president. We profess to be a nation of laws but increasingly this man feels unbound by them.
Despotism is a form of government in which a single entity rules with absolute power. That entity may be an individual, as in an autocracy, or it may be a group,[1] as in an oligarchy

The United States Declaration of Independence accused the British government of "a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinc[ing] a design to reduce [the people] under absolute Despotism."
Traces of that sense grow across the country.

#12 In a saner world, Congressional Republicans would have learned over the last 7 years how very susceptible administrative agencies are to abuse. Having learned their lesson, they would use the opportunity granted by a new administration to drastically rein in the rule making authority and extra-judicial enforcement ability of those same agencies.

Sadly, Boehner and McConnell have no problem whatsoever with the current set up.

#13 Alaska Paul is right. I'd love to hear Trump start saying the same thing and put a big nasty spotlight on the misbehaving bureaucrats. Such a perfect example of the type of thing that has screwed our economy up.
