re: #63 Gus
From that article:
Trucker-specific grievances behind the protest include Environmental Protection Agency fuel efficiency standards and the high cost of diesel fuel. State and local anti-idling laws as well as insurance companies purportedly requiring technological updates are among the irritations, as is the perceived deterioration of Fourth Amendment rights protecting truckers’ cabs.
How high fuel costs equate to ‘crimes’ I do not understand at all. Recent prices have not been caused by anything Barack Obama has done, and anyone who thinks they have is either misinformed or a chowderhead.
As for anti-idling laws, those are not the province of the federal government. The laws in question were not passed by Congress, nor does the federal government have the power to override them.
The free market and federalism: How do they work?
