A U.S. court on Friday issued an order temporarily blocking the implementation of a federal water rule across the country, expanding on a prior injunction from a separate court that applied only to certain states.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit granted a stay against the so-called Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in May.

1. Can't let a little thing like clean water

stand in the way of commerce can we?

3. Who cares!

I drink Pepsi!

7. Try taking a shower in Pepsi.

I do! (why won't these ants leave me alone?!)


You know I was kidding!

[Nitram]

9. I know, but I couldn't shake an image of how sticky you'd feel all day...

...if you took a shower in Pepsi. It'd smell better than beer, though.

10. The movie "Help"

Remember?

Paul get accidentally shrunken down, and takes a bath in Cola.

[Nitram]

11. I'd forgotten that.

Really funny movie.

[SheilaT]

4. Yeah, who needs clean water?

[Psephos]

5. Clean water I heartily support. Power grabs by unelected officials, I do not.

This rule is a blatant and illegal grab of power over one's own property to the benefit of TPTB.

[Darb]

12. Could you expound please?

By "unelected officials" I assume you mean those working in the federal government in the executive branch? Working for the duly elected President of the United States?

What is your problem with the rules? I sure could use a bit of education on this subject and it seems you know all about it, having made such a firm denunciation. Do tell.

[Vinca]

8. We're living in a totally upside down country.

Guns a big yes, clean water no. I don't get it.
