On June 19, 2006, the US Supreme Court upheld (5-4) the Clean Water Act, and the power it grants to the federal government to regulate private property, even when it the use of said property poses no direct threat to any constitutionally protected right of a US citizen.

The case was called "Rapanos v United States", and most conspirators will note that most cases in which anyone is in the position of "'Your Name Here' v United States" are likely to be found in favor of the US.

This segment of "Against the Grain" covers the decision, and what is at stake.
