In 2008 Gibson was told by Madagascar that harvesting or exporting ebony was illegal.
In 2009 Gibson went ahead and bought Madagascar ebony via a 3rd party who told them he could get “grey market” ebony.

Gibson got caught.

Maybe fish and wildlife overreaches, I don’t know, but this isn’t one of those cases.

Why don’t the Fish and Wildlife do what they are supposed to be doing and enforce the “Poaching ” in our waters and help prevent the Loss of one of our most valuable treasures, “Menhaden” or what most people know as the “Mossbunker” a fish that filters our waters by eating algae and is a valuable link in the food chain for Game Fish
(Which the search for brings in Billions of dollars every year from the Sport Fishing industry in TAXES) This fish is rapidly disappearing from New Jersey’s waters because of out of State Commercial Net dragging operations who profit in the sale of same to Fertilizer and Cat Food manufacturers.
I guess we all can figure that one out, It’s not as easy as siezing something and fining a large corporation that’s legally operating within the LAW as written.

I had taken legal courses in college while earning a degree in Advanced Legal Studies. I had a choice between two electives courses; women in America or Administrative Law. They both sounded as though they would bore me to death, but I’d opted for Administrative law. The course was one of the most interesting and eye-opening classes ever taken.

America passed what is known as the “Administrative procedures Act” in 1946. This is an Act that placed into legislation the rules that Agencies and citizens would be bound from that time on. Is it just acoincidence that this Act was passed in 1946, or is it possible, or likely, that America had seen what politicians of the era thought might be a better way to run things here in the U.S. by implementing a system by which the delegation of power (specifically forbidden by Art. I of the U.S. Const.) was used by Congress to spread what we now know to be “Administrative Agencies” all over the nation?

Administrative Agencies are able to get around the “non-delegation of powers” clause in the Constitutions, which states that “All law-making powers shall be vested in Congress” by referring to Agencies directives as “Rules” rather than “Laws.” IN reality, we’re talking about a matter of political semantics that have allowed for the overwhelming growth of governmental intrusion and control over every U.S. citizens life. To make matters worse is the fact that the individuals with the power to implement Administrative Agency “Rules,” that DO have the effect of “Laws,” are individuals that have NEVER been elected by any democratic process, cannot be voted out of their positions, and are do not have to justify anything they do with tax dollars to the American public; ever.

As citizens, the only recourse against the actions of Administrative Agencies, with respect to individuals in positions of power, is to overwhelm Congress with complaints until Congress decides that the individual, or agency itelf, has overstepped its bounds in accordance with the Congressional mandate that had created whichever Administrative Agency one is speaking of at the moment.

Good luck with that mess.
