A proposed regulation by the EPA would give the agency the ability to garnish wages without court approval.

Prior to the enactment of the DCIA, Debt Collection Improvement Act of the 1996, Federal agencies were required to obtain a court judgment before garnishing non-Federal wages.

If they are allowed to garnish wages without a court judgement, I have to ask, what happened to the citizens' rights?

They have been slowly eroding over the past two decades. Since the USA Patriot act, that erosion has increased. I am going to beat the liberals here and blame Bush for the Patriot Act and using executive privilege to do some questionable things, however, Obama has taken what Bush started and has ran with it. Using executive orders to legislate, and the Patriot Act, along with secret interpretations, to totally get our privacy.

Everyday, we lose a little more of our rights as citizens.
I wont go any farther for fear of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but I fear it is going to get worse before it ever gets better.

Citizens don't have rights. They are regulated by the government elites. After all, they know what's best for all of us. That's progressive regulations for you.

And people wonder why mature adults vote Republican. Not because they are good necessarily but this is the kind of thing that you get. Two years will not come soon enough for me.
