DC Council Spanked for Getting Out of Line

Once again, the courts have had to reign in the rulers of Washington, D.C. This time the foolish little bureaucrats tried overstep their authority to tax commuters. You can read about it here:

Court Rules Against District Commuter Tax

Of course, this kind of behavoir is typical of the petty tyrants running D.C., who regularly ignore the US Constitution and treat the citizens of D.C. as subjects. Thankfully the Supreme Court saw fit to spank these mis-behaving children in this case.

Interestingly, city leaders used DC's onerous tax burden (appx 3 times the surrounding community) to make their case. Sadly, the massive waste, fraud, and abuse that characterizes nearly every facet of the D.C. government seldom earns their attention. One can only wonder how many taxpayer dollars were wasted in pursuit of this groundless court battle.
