This amendment deals with illegal plants -- the primary thrust being illegal wood. Henceforth, all wood is to be a federally regulated, suspect substance. Either raw wood, lumber, or anything made of wood, from tables and chairs, to flooring, siding, particle board, to handles on knives, baskets, chopsticks, or even toothpicks has to have a label naming the genus and species of the tree that it came from and the country of origin. Incorrect labeling becomes a federal felony, and the law does not just apply to wood newly entering the country, but any wood that is in interstate commerce within the country. Here are some excerpts from a summary:

Looking around my house, not one piece of wooden furniture - either the ones I built or the ones I bought - has a label telling the genus and species it came from along with the country of origin. Certainly the toothpicks and knife handles don't. I see perhaps 2 dozen felonies within eye shot. Perhaps I should shut up about that.

Anyone who imports into the United States, or exports out of the United States, illegally harvested plants or products made from illegally harvested plants, including timber, as well as anyone who exports, transports, sells, receives, acquires or purchases such products in the United States, may be prosecuted.

What happens with the Obama administration, including this, is the result of democracy in action.

Don't you think their handgun/sidearm would have been enough in a case like this? If they took ARs or MP-5s, even shotguns, those weapons were taken in there SOLELY to intimidate the people in that factory. Did the Feds really think someone was going to do something to cause a shootout, that would need more than handguns, over some WOOD? <SNIP>

Armed Federal Agents raid American factory for using American employees

Fed agents with automatic weapons invade factory in Nashville for using American workers

I'll keep a look out for them
