Bureaucratic excess should concern Democrats, too
GUILFORD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, JUL 23 – Democrats face challenges in governance due to bureaucratic excess, which may impede effective policy implementation and party efficiency, analysts warn.
- In 2007, Chantell and Mike Sackett sought to build a three-bedroom house on a lot they purchased near Priest Lake, Idaho.
- The EPA blocked their project claiming it threatened protected wetlands and threatened massive fines for continuing dirt moving, denying their legal challenge.
- With help from the Pacific Legal Foundation, the Sacketts sued, and after a decade-long legal battle, the Supreme Court limited EPA authority in 2023.
- The Court ruled only waters with a continuous surface connection to traditional waters fall under the EPA's Clean Water Act authority.
- Despite the ruling, the EPA and Army Corps continue asserting broad authority over private lands nationwide, directly defying the Court according to the foundation.
