Supreme Court Delivers Huge Blow To EPA’s Ability To Control Private Property

From The Daily Caller:

The U.S. Supreme Court just made it easier for individuals and companies to challenge federal agencies’ authority to regulate private property under federal law — a decision with huge implications for a major Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation.

Chief Justice John Roberts sided with Hawkes Co., a family-owned business in North Dakota, that wanted to extract peat from wetlands they owned in northern Minnesota. The court said Hawkes could immediately challenge a federal agency’s decision to prevent them from using their private property.

Hawkes Co., which provides peat for golf courses and sports fields, was prevented from harvesting peat from their property after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ruled the wetlands they wanted to harvest from were under federal control. That means Hawkes would need a special permit to harvest peat from their own property.

Wait, what! The owners of the land, were being forced to get a pernit to harvest from their own land.

WTF?
