Title: Will Trump Help Protect Your Property Rights?
Topic: Property Rights

Discussed by Jonathan Wood
with Pacific Legal Foundation (www.PacificLegal.org)

When bureaucrats make rules that impact the American people, they’re supposed to submit them to Congress for review. Unfortunately, today’s reality is that alphabet soup agencies – FDA, USDA, EPA, USFWS – adopt most of the rules that Americans are subjected to.

These laws have become so numerous and oppressive that one civil rights lawyer estimates that every American has committed at least three federal crimes by dinnertime every day.

Jonathan Wood is an attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation’s WDC Center, where he litigates environmental, property rights, and constitutional cases.
