Sand up your ass, if you're lucky

Dealing with gummit is like a visit to ___
You end up with ____ in every crack, pore, and orifice.


Tractors lumbering down country roads are as common as deer in rural Montana, but the federal government wants to place new driving regulations on farmers and ranchers.

"It's a huge deal for us," said John Youngberg of the Montana Farm Bureau. After years of allowing state governments to waive commercial driver's license requirements for farmers hauling crops or driving farm equipment on public roads, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is poised to do away with the exceptions.

Regulators are suggesting that all wheat shipments be considered interstate, even when farmers making short hauls to local grain elevators aren't crossing state lines.

So what they really want to do is put small family-owned farms out of business by making it illegal to run a small family-owned farm.

Even with a well funded law suit, the SCOTUS would yet again come down on the side of the obscenely interpreted "Commerce Clause".

OldBB, that's because SCOTUS reveres precedent.
But, if Wickard v. Filburn overturned about 150 years of precedent, why can't the current SCOTUS overturn a mere 69 years of Wickard precedent? Bad law is bad law. You say Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsberg? Well, that's a point.

Certain members of the elite in California were revealed to have registered their personal transportation as "farm vehicles" for tax and insurance breaks......
I pity the fools who try to enforce that law in Montana. They invented the phrase, "shoot, shovel, and shut up." Some fools are trying to punish the folks of Montana because of their bad attitude toward the Won. Same thing is happening in Texas and other Red states with the EPA. I wish I had a back hoe. We need a back hoe rally in Austin, Helena, and Baton Rouge. I want to go to Baton Rouge for the eats.

Appears like a push by large commercial farms (general mills?) to put small family farms out of bidness. "Someone" raised the issue to the state, which then took it to the fed, to get this whole ball rolling.
