Bees are fish? That is a decision by a California appeals court for the purposes of getting protection of bees under the Endangered Species Act. Now for once, I think conservatives, who should also be conservationists of nature, would agree that bees need protection even more than cuddly furry creatures with sharp teeth and claws. Yet, couldn’t the Act be modified to include protection of insects, rather than an arbitrary redefining of words? After all, if courts can simply redefine words, then not only is new law created, but at a stretch any law could be created with enough imagination. And, guess where that goes? Thus, the “right to bare arms,” could be taken to meant the right to wear short sleeve shirts, tank tops, or no shirt at all! Did the founding Fasters (redefined as transgenders) therefore support a right to quasi-nudism?
