  • It's a 9-0 MAGA court

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 26 21:46:35 2023
    and I love it.

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., slammed the Supreme Court's ruling Thursday that limited the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate bodies of water, calling it a "MAGA" court even though the decision was 9-0.

    On Thursday, the high court issued an opinion that narrowed the EPA's broad definition of Waters of the United States (WOTUS). The court said the federal government must define WOTUS as a water source with a "continuous surface connection" to major
    bodies of water.

    The decision upended an attempt by the Biden administration to regulate wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams and other "relatively permanent" waterways, which had relied on a broad reading of the EPA's authority under the Clean Water Act (CWA).

    This has taken forever to weave it's way through the courts and the EPA has been grossly overstepping their bounds long before the Biden admin.

    But thanks Joe for so botching your case you got 0 votes from the court on your behalf.

    I gladly welcome Sotomayor, Kagan and Kendri-Jackson to my cause.
