Thank you for the link. In Oregon we had someone prosecuted for the pond he had on his property. Had it for years. Full of wildlife. He was jailed and the pond was drained. State officials will say to your face that all water is property of the state. I know because I confronted one at a meeting. My question then was .... what about snow damage or water damage to my road. Is the state responsible for that since it "owns" all of the water? No response.

It's a shame. These cases should be presented with as much documentation as possible. Honestly, they sound made up. Who can imagine such things? I seriously thought the incident you mentioned was probably made up. I had to read the SCOTUS petition to believe it. I half way want to check to see if it was filed--it's still so hard to brlieve. It doesn't really help that stories like this one are found only on conservative sites. Anyone, left or right, would be justifiably outraged at the way Mr. Robertson was treated. Everyone should post the court documents. They are far more persuasive to the general population and far more difficult to dismiss out of hand. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
