Supreme Court denies Trump's effort to halt EPA water rule

By John Siciliano (@JohnDSiciliano) • 4/3/17 7:06 PM



The Supreme Court on Monday denied the Trump administration's request to place a hold on litigation over former President Barack Obama's Waters of the U.S. rule so it can begin repealing it.
 
The high court denied the administration's request without explanation.
 
The Justice Department wanted the high court to hold off on hearing a case, National Association of Manufacturers v. Department of Defense et al, on the Environmental Protection Agency's water rule until it had time to review the regulation on its own, "paving the way for the elimination of this very destructive and horrible rule," President Trump said.
 
Trump signed an executive order in February directing the EPA to begin the process of rolling back the regulation. A lower court had placed a hold on the rule last year, but the manufacturers group wanted the Supreme Court to suss out if the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati has the jurisdiction to continue the stay.
 
The manufacturers and other industry groups want the fate of the rule to be decided at the local district court level. Whatever decision the Supreme Court makes on jurisdiction eventually will affect the path of litigation over Trump's water rule decision.
 
The water regulation expands EPA and Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction over waterways as small as watering holes and ditches, making its harder for farmers, ranchers, developers and energy companies to conduct business, critics say.

Congressional action limiting the powers of the EPA might be appropriate,  and would be effective. The EPA can be stripped of that power, or limited in whatever powers it is allowed to keep, or abolished altogether with specific duties transferred to other agencies (and others allowed to lapse or abolished).

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The GOP controls the Legislative and Executive Branches of govt.

Why are they mucking around with policy-making in the Judicial?

Just make a new law to get what you want, Ryan-McConnell-Trump.

The EPA is an executive agency and WOTUS is not congressional legislation, but rather, agenda driven fascistic executive overreaching (Land: see Snatch) by the previous President.   If the new Chief Executive wants executive regulation gone, it is completely his call.

So SCOTUS sides with the Leftist ideal that private property rights when rain fills up your ditch  or pond, automatically gives them ownership of your property.

And we get lectured on how we are a Republic and that we must work with where we find ourselves and compromise with tyranny in order to 'advance' our ball down field.

I'm convinced America is plagued with Cognitive Dissonance to the point it has metastasized itself into a full blown fatal stage of Normalcy Bias.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
