Charles Murray, in his book, We The People<\/em>, not only outlines when and with which case we lost our liberties and unchained the federal government, but also proposes a solution. Flat out repealing all the bureaucracy simply won’t work. Too many links and too many depending on all this. The only way is to start cutting back on government power.<\/p>\n

Murray’s proposal is to fight EVERY overstepping of authority, EVERY snide bureaucrat thinking HE (or she) had the answer AND authority (EPA just naturally comes to mind) – all the way to federal court.<\/em><\/p>\n

This, of course, can get expensive. So Murray’s proposal is that rich conservatives and libertarians set up think tank-like organizations dedicated to fighting in court every overstep they can find.<\/p>\n

Like this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a case where a small milk-producing company in Florida ran afoul of the Florida what-ever-the alphabet-department is, over branding their skim milk, skim milk. They were told they can’t do that because there is a loss of Vit A in the process. The company tried all manner of ways to fulfill the supposed “standard”, including putting a notice on the container about it, etc. But they were ALL denied. ONLY labelling it “mild product”, NOT “skim milk” would do. <\/p>\n

But in point of fact it IS – JUST SKIM MILLK! <\/p>\n

So yesterday, or a day or so ago, a federal judge struct down the restriction, noting there was no public danger in the label and that the state was unnecessarily encroaching on the 1A rights of the dairy. Skim milk, which is exactly<\/em> what this is, is just skim milk and people should be allowed to call it so.<\/p>\n

We need lots more of these. We need to tie the fed in knots, waging lawfare on every department that is out of control. While the fed seems to be an endless deep pocket<\/em>, only the poor find it so. Yes, the usual attempt is to threaten fines so astronomical as to extort anyone to comply, the response ought to be to tell them to put that threat where the sun don’t shine and sue them all the way to federal court.<\/p>\n
