I see you failed to give any reasons why. "Whether the 9th Circuit used the proper test to determine whether wetlands are “waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act." That's from your link...did you catch that? A re-visit of a 2017 Cali vs./J.R. relying on a 2006 Justice Kennedy opinion...regarding wetlands. "The facts underlying the conviction were that in the process of excavating and constructing a series of ponds on both National Forest System lands and a privately owned mining claim, Robertson discharged dredge and fill material, without permits, into surrounding Montana wetlands and into an adjacent tributary that runs into Cataract Creek. Cataract Creek is a tributary of the Boulder River, which in turn is a tributary of the Jefferson River, a traditionally navigable water of the United States." ...cuz Q...right?
The ruling will effect much more than some pond or wetland, it will set a precedent on how much power the EPA actually has, but I'd not expect a smartalek to be able to think that far outside the headline.
This place was a lot better before all the smarta$$ trolls showed up.
I see you failed to give any reasons as to why not. Why don't you enlighten us since you seem so sure of yourself.
