Biden’s Executive Order (EO) 14008, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,” is a gross violation of Article 1, Section 8, clause 17 of the United States Constitution, which limits federal property to territories such as the District of Columbia and “Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, Dock-Yards and other needful Buildings.” To acquire land from the states for these four purposes (only), the Federal government must first obtain the consent of the relevant state governments.
But Biden is having none of this, and, like former President Obama, is taking actions the states do not want that are directly forbidden by the Constitution. Senator Roger Marshall, R-KS, a member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forest, co-introduced a 30 x 30 Termination Act to prevent even more excessive government over-reach. Writing in the June 7, 2021 edition of High Plains Journal, Senator Marshall explained the impact of Biden’s EO:
“Imagine, if you will, taking 30% of agricultural land out of production. This means losing 30% of all agricultural-related employment, leaving 75,000 Kansans without jobs. As far as the Kansas economy goes, this means losing 30% of all direct, indirect, and induced agricultural production—that’s more than $21 billion in output for our state.”
Marshall is joined by 16 farm-state governors who sent a letter to Biden on February 22 warning of his federal overreach.
Join Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris in this week’s episode of The Other Side of the Story to learn how Biden plans to cripple America’s farm states by engaging in the greatest theft in American history in the name of the ludicrous goal of “stopping climate change.”
