It has the impertinence to bear
protection by a Waters of the
United States rule of 2015, ap-
plying to unnavigable waters --
unknowable to the Constitution's
Commerce Clause, hence of no leg-
itimate national interest in the
ingenuity of Originalist claptrap.
Worse, obviously, it bears the
protection of executive action
based in irrefutably urgent fact,
by an African-American President.
It is an integral refuge of the
California watershed. It is life-
giving, life-sustaining, and pre-
carious. The health and character
of every species sheltered in its
resource draw its benefits. Most
infuriating, it is beautiful.
