Chances are many of you missed a float that wobbled by in this endless parade of liberal horribles. God knows it’s hard to keep up with the daily assault on citizenship and property by this government. The EPA has decreed they are no longer subject to the judicial process. They have claimed independence. The Washington Times reported the following:
The EPA announced
the plan last week in a notice in the Federal Register, saying federal law
allows it “to garnish non-Federal wages to collect delinquent non-tax debts
owed the United States without first obtaining a court order.”
The agency cited
authority under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 that centralized
federal collection operations under the Treasury Department, which oversees garnishments
of wages or tax refund checks.
Under the law, every
federal agency has the authority to conduct administrative wage garnishment,
provided the agency adopts
approved rules for conducting hearings where debtors can challenge the amount
of debt or terms of repayment schedule, a Treasury official said.
Still, the rule would
give the EPA sweeping
authority to dictate how and whether Americans could dispute fines and
penalties, even as the amount of EPA fines
collected from individuals, businesses and local governments steadily increase.
Is this not a subversion
of the Constitution? Where in the
Constitution do the legislative, executive, and judicial branches have the
ability to abdicate their constitutional responsibilities? Is there an article that outlines a fourth
branch of government? Is this not a form
of taxation without representation?
What in the hell is going on in this country?
