@nycsouthpaw The amendment, though, goes beyond Spending Clause, doesn't it?pic.twitter.com/Epk8afOsee

@nycsouthpaw Wouldn't the "permit[ting]" arguably now be prohibited as well? -
@chrisgeidner the actual amendment text only goes to use of appropriated funds:pic.twitter.com/wrzUTAuk2c

@nycsouthpaw Right. Presumably, the Interior appropriations act funds the National Park Service operations, including permitting, yes? -
@chrisgeidner yes, but doesn't permitting an outside group to plant a bunch of flags come at no cost? you just... let it happen. -
@nycsouthpaw But, permitting involves time and money. -
@chrisgeidner I think you're reading "may permit" as issuing paper permits. I'm reading it as "you don't have to stop ppl from doing this." - 3 more replies
