"You don't need to know. You can't know." That's what Kathy Norris, a 60-year-old grandmother of eight, was told when she tried to ask court officials why, the day before, federal agents had subjected her home to a furious search.

The agents who spent half a day ransacking Mrs. Norris' longtime home in Spring, Texas, answered no questions while they emptied file cabinets, pulled books off shelves, rifled through drawers and closets, and threw the contents on the floor.

The six agents, wearing SWAT gear and carrying weapons, were with - get this- the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Kathy and George Norris lived under the specter of a covert government investigation for almost six months before the government unsealed a secret indictment and revealed why the Fish and Wildlife Service had treated their family home as if it were a training base for suspected terrorists. Orchids.

That's right. Orchids.

Guess it can't be blamed on Obama, since it happened in 2003.

Unbelievable. The stupidity of the government in both situations described in that article are enough to make the blood boil.
 
Freaky...

It's like Ayn Rand saw this and wrote about it in Atlas Shrugged. Seriously. People may make fun of her books as poor literature, but that is so they can ignore the content.

Land of the free? *pshaw*

Finally! Someone from the Right is not putting the blame on the Obama Adminstration. Thanks for the WT piece blaming one of their own appointees for the weirdness.

I don't know.... and a part of me doesn't want to know as that info might send me over the edge.

Two years in prison for Orchids? Whomever decided to prosecute that man should quite simply be shot.
 
But the point is that this military, rights-denying brand of environment law enforcement emanates from the left, generally speaking.

I know the content, it was just seriously a labor to get through it, it was awful...
 
You can thank Republicans for inventing an infinity amount of vaguely defined criminal statues with infinity punishment in each case. The law is basically whatever the DA in your area thinks it should be.
