Supreme Court rules against EPA in Clean Water Act

Recommended Posts

In a hit to the Trump administration, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled Monday that cases litigating the Clean Water Act should be heard by federal district courts. The administration had argued those cases should be heard in federal appeals courts.

The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case over an Obama-era regulation, known as the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule, back in January 2017, after debate as to whether the U.S. Court of Appeals or federal district courts had the authority to hear the lawsuits from industry groups and states that say the rule went too far.

Actually, despite the title, this ruling is procedural and has not policy substance at all.

Flint is hardly Republicans fault. Ruled by D's for years. The water issue was created by the Flint fools who didn't do maintenance on their water system for decades and some bad state decision
