You're still wrong, and so is Chris. Boulder Creek is not a navigable water
of the United States, and Congress recognized that fact when it severed the
land from the public domain and titled it privately.
No state can enact a law that limits the Federal Governments ability to create
treaties with foreign nations...
Except that the treaty you allude to does not apply to Boulder Creek.
I think it's just a matter of time before
someone goes to court with a good lawyer and lots of research behind them...
You'd be right.
However, your navigability complaint has nothing whatever to do with the
issue here, which is the fact that you cannot formulate a cogent argument to
refute the issue of EAGLE NESTS and kayakers, which is what we're talking
about right now.
