The Supreme Court, in a 9-0 ruling, decided to rein in Joe Biden’s aggressive climate plan.
At question were regulating certain bodies of water, especially in regard to private lands.
The unanimous ruling just proves how far this administration is trying to bend the rules.
Too Far
I have very little doubt that Biden has pushed the envelope to push his green agenda.
The new EPA rule would have allowed the government to place restrictions on standing water on private lands.
We are talking about small ponds and lakes, especially on farms.
The Supreme Court has locked in the definition of water source as a “continuous surface connection” that extends to major bodies of water.
The majority opinion was written by Justice Alito.
He wrote. “The EPA ordered the Sacketts to restore the site, threatening penalties of over $40,000 per day. The EPA classified the wetlands on the Sacketts’ lot as ‘waters of the United States’ because they were near a ditch that fed into a creek, which fed into Priest Lake, a navigable, intrastate lake. The Sacketts sued, alleging that their property was not ‘waters of the United States.’
“Understanding the CWA to apply to wetlands that are distinguishable from otherwise covered ‘waters of the United States’ would substantially broaden [existing statute] to define ‘navigable waters’ as ‘waters of the United States and adjacent wetlands.'”
The White House has stated that this fight is not over.
But I am guessing they seem to forget that the Supreme Court is the last stop on this train.
That does not surprise me, however, considering how many laws and rules this administration has already broken.
