    I’d rather they let the experts quickly determine how much lead is unsafe in drinking water than to have to constantly go to court to prove to a judge not just that lead is unsafe in drinking water, but to convince the judge that poisoning people is bad and should be stopped.

    Honestly this kind of makes me think more seriously of finding a way to leave this country. The consequences of this shit can’t be overstated really. It effectively ends all regulatory bodies’ ability to regulate.

      You’re assuming experts are always in charge of government agencies and I don’t think that’s true. Government always runs at least partially on the honor system, hoping that voters will punish those who abuse the public trust. We don’t do that anymore. They abuse our trust and we reelect them anyway.
