TOWN OF FRANKLIN, Wis. – Daniel Borntreger's home looks like hundreds of other Wisconsin farmhouses: two-story A-frame, porch, clothes on the line. But his home could cost him thousands of dollars in fines. Borntreger, an Amish farmer, built the house himself according to Amish tradition — but without a building permit.
Interesting confrontation between the Leviathan and Amish farmers. This isn't a freedom of religion issue - it's a freedom issue, period. Where does government get the power to tell anyone how to build their home on private property? Hint: it does not come from the Constitution.
