Supremes Join Trump to Stop Obama Power Grab
The Trump administration has worked virtually nonstop since the inauguration to unwind and withdraw some of the environmental campaigns launched by Barack Obama, and on Monday the Supreme Court joined in.
The justices ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot provide a hedge of protection preventing courts from reviewing its actions by requiring such appeals be heard only in some courts.
“Today’s ruling is a victory for the rule of law and for accountability in government,” said James S. Burling, of Pacific Legal Foundation.
His organization worked with farmers, ranchers and other landowners nationwide who wanted to fight the Obama-era Waters of the U.S. ruling . . .
“The EPA’s ‘waters of the United States’ rule may be the most brazen – and lawless – expansion of bureaucratic power in American history. The regulators who imposed it tried to shield it from review by limiting opportunities for the public to bring challenges. The Supreme Court struck a blow for liberty by rejecting this ploy and guaranteeing access to justice for the EPA’s victims,” Burling said.
