WATER COMPACT WARRIOR--RAN ALL NIGHT, WEDNESDAY P.M., THURSDAY A.M., UNTIL I HIT THE SHUTTLE TO KALISPELL, WHERE I HOOKED UP WITH FORMER SENATOR, VERDELL JACKSON, UPDATING ME ON THE COMPACT, THE VOTE, MAKES SENSE--ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING & MURDER THWARTED--CHASED LIKE A FUGATIVE AFTER BEING IN MISSOULA FOR 3 WEEKS, WHAT CHANGED? THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT WAS VOTING ON THE WATER COMPACT, FRIDAY. ON COMPROMISES AND ROTTEN COMPROMISES . . . A ROTTEN COMPROMISE, IS AN AGREEMENT THAT SHOULD BE AVOIDED, COME WHAT MAY! CONTROLLING DOCUMENTS ARE BEING VIOLATED--U.S. (ART. I, SEC. 10 [3], NO STATE SHALL, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF CONGRESS . . . ENTER INTO ANY AGREEMENT OR COMPACT WITH ANOTHER STATE, OR WITH A FOREIGN POWER, INDIAN NATION IS A FOREIGN POWER, SOVERIEGN) & MONTANA STATE CONSTITUTIONS, MONTANA LAW, WATER LAW, HELLGATE TREATY OF 1855--IMPLIED WATER RIGHTS FOR THE USE AND BENEFIT OF THE RESERVATION--HUNGRY HORSE, KERR DAM, AND NOW THEY WANT THE FLATHEAD? WHO'S BEHIND THIS? THE FEDS?--STATUTORY INTERPRETATION, PLAIN LANGUAGE, INTENT AND HISTORY, VIOLATES ALL OF THAT TOO. MONTANA WATER COURTS, MOST KNOWLEDGABLE, UNDERSTAND WATER RIGHTS, HAVE HANDLED OVER 200,000 DISPUTES OVER WATER RIGHTS--DON'T FIX WHAT IS NOT BROKEN. GREAT DISCRIPTION OF WATER COURTS, THEIR FUNCTIONS, POWERS, AND WHAT CONSTITUTES A WATER RIGHT, IN MONTANA COURTS, CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO THE COURTS--YOU CAN PICK ONE UP AT ANY LIBRARY, COURT, AND MAYBE EVEN HAVE SOME SHIPPED TO THE LEGISLATURE, FOR AN EDUCATIONAL INSTRUMENT OR TOOL. MONTANANS ARE NOTED FOR THEIR DOWN TO EARTH, COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO LIFE, APPLY THAT TO THE WATER COMPACT--STIR WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, IS FOR THE TRIBES TO QUANTIFY THEIR WATER FOR USE & BENEFIT SAKE, THE WATER WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR COMMERCIAL SALE AND MONEY MAKING! THE RIGHT TO FISH, IS NOT THE RIGHT TO ALL WATERS, BOTH ON AND OFF THE RESERVATION THAT HAS FISH IN THEM! GET REAL--AS PER STATE CONSTITUTION, SIGNED AND ENABLED AFTER THE HELLGATE TREATY OF 1855, SIGNED INTO LAW, 1889, THE UNITED STATES WHO HAS SOLE JURISDICTION OVER THE INDIANS, STILL GAVE ALL WATER WITHIN THE STATE TO THE CITIZENS, WHICH INCLUDES INDIANS, AND THOSE HOLDING DUEL CITIZENSHIP, THE RIGHT TO ALL WATERS IN THE STATE, SURFACE, GROUND AND SPRING WATER. LEAVE THINGS ALONE! THIS IS A ROTTEN COMPROMISE AND COMPACT! A ROTTEN COMPROMISE IS AN AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH OR MAINTAIN A REGIME OF CRUELTY AND HUMILIATION--IN SHORT, AN INHUMAN REGIME, IN THE LITERAL SENSE OF INHUMAN, UNFIT FOR HUMANS--TAKING AWAY THE WATER RIGHTS OF 2,000 IRRIGATORS, AND 330,000 MONTANA CITIZENS IN 11 COUNTIES, AFTER CENTURIES OF WATER, THE SUSTAINENCE OF LIFE? HUMAN? FIRST IN TIME, FIRST IN RIGHT, MEANS, SINCE THE HELLGATE TREATY ON 1855 WAS SIGNED, NOT ABORIGINAL TIMES--WARS CHANGE THINGS, INDIANS, CEDED THEIR LANDS, IN EXCHANGE FOR PEACE, SAFETY, MONEY, BUILDINGS, THEIR RESERVATIONS--AND THIS ONE IS FLUSH WITH RICH WATER, RUNNING OFF THE MISSION MOUNTAINS, MEETING THE NEEDS OF CATTLE, FARMS, ANIMALS, AND OTHER NECESSITIES ON THE RESERVATION, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND LUSH! THERE IS ENOUGH WATER FOR EVERYONE, LET THE TRIED AND TRUE WATER COURTS DO THEIR JOB! JUST QUANTIFY--THIS WATER COMPACT, IS BETRAYAL OF HIGH MINDED PRINCIPLES! I AM BEING BLOCKED FROM WRTITING IN THE TEXT OR BEYOND THE TITLE OF MY OWN BLOG, AND WHO DO YOU THINK HAS THE POWER, ACCESS, AND ABILITY TO CONTROL MY BLOG--YOU GOT IT, THE NSA, OR THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY AND THEIR ALLIES, THE FEDS, AND WHOMEVER ELSE MIGHT HAVE AN INTEREST IN MONTANA'S WATER? THEY SURE AS HELL DON'T WANT ME GOING INTO DETAIL, SO THIS WILL HAVE TO SUFFICE! VOTE NO--MY RECOMMENDATION, THE BAD ASS CON LAW CHICK, THAT STANDS FOR CONSTITUTIONAL LAW CHICK, A MEMBER OF FOUR BAR ASSOCIATIONS, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATE SUPREME COURT BAR! DO THE RIGHT THING--LEGALIZE YOUR FEDERAL AND STATE CONSTITUTIONS, FOLLOW STATE WATER LAW, AND THE HELLGATE TREATY, FULL OF HIGH-MINDED PRINCIPLES, LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE, THIS WATER COMPACT, IS AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AS ANYTHING I HAVE SEEN, OTHER THAN THE UTAH COP & PROSECUTOR'S LEGISLATION ON ASSET FORFIETRUE! LOL! SO DEAD IN THE WATER! 1997 LEGISLATIVE SESSION, UTAH! ONCE EDUCATED, THEY DID THE RIGHT THING, AND 27 OTHER STATES, FOLLOWED SUIT! THIS WATER COMPACT, GOES BEYOND WHAT ANY WATER COMPACT IN HISTORY DOES, JUST PLAIN ROTTEN!
