Via Instapundit, Ed Morrissey explains why the fishermen are mad at Obama: The White House and Lubchenco want an end to private commercial fishing and have taken steps to eliminate “freelancing,” for lack of a better term.

I wonder how much different all of this would be had the federal government–who is responsible for the protection of these waters–had not [...]
“…because the government won’t really enforce it!” Thus spaketh…Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan?
