Half the nation's wetlands just lost federal protection. Their fate is up to states

"Last month, a U.S. Supreme Court decision struck down federal protections for wetlands covering tens of millions of acres across the country, leaving no regulation of those areas in nearly half the states. "

SCOTUS strikes again. Even Brett Kavanaugh objected to the new test of a protected wetland as defined in the majority opinion on this one. Sacket v. EPA.

In what environmentalists called a "catastrophic limitation", the shitty fucking joke of what we call the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to sharply limit the EPA’s ability to protect wetlands.

A conservative majority held that the agency’s authority under the Clean Water Act covered only wetlands connected to larger bodies of water.

On the one hand, the conservative ruling restricting federal protection of to only those that connect on the surface to a waterway is pretty awful and dangerous and all that.

On the other hand, if we didn't have a nihilistic power party, the , in control of half our government, we could *legislate* stronger language for the that wouldn't allow SCOTUS to so rule.

"The impact of [today's Supreme Court decision] could lead to the removal of millions of miles of streams and millions of acres of wetlands from the [Clean Water Act's] protection. Basic protections necessary to ensure clean, healthy water for human consumption and enjoyment will be lost."
