EPA blunder exposes government overreach and regulatory failure
02/21/2026 / By Patrick Lewis
Federal agencies like the EPA bypass Congress, create their own regulations and enforce them without due process, eroding constitutional protections like the presumption of innocence.
The Maryland sewage leak mirrors past disasters (e.g., Flint water crisis), exposing a pattern of bureaucratic negligence, evasion of responsibility and refusal to engage in oversight.
The EPA ignored a critical legislative hearing, demonstrating its culture of unaccountability while expanding power beyond constitutional limits—unelected bureaucrats act as lawmakers without congressional approval.
Individuals and businesses bear the burden of proving innocence in regulatory disputes, facing punitive measures (e.g., forced destruction of compliant products) with no recourse.
Dismantle the administrative state by requiring Congress to approve all regulations, ending agency rulemaking and holding bureaucracies accountable for failures that harm the public.
