The Environment
The necessity to protect the environment was generally unknown at the time of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, so there is no provision for it in the language of the document. Congress and the Supreme Court have used unconstitutional means to legislate in this area, most of which are used to protect crony's monopolies or exert political power rather than actually protect the environment. The Uniting Amendment adds specific language to the Constitution to protect the environment while preventing the abuse of environmental law for iniquitous purposes.

The Government, in passing its $1.1 Trillion bill December, 2014, just trimmed the Environmental Protection Agency's budget by $60 million. This will ultimately hurt the fragile environment, which is needed to support life. The environment should be a major concern, and not subject to the whims of politicians pandering to Big Business.
