Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., slammed the Supreme Court's ruling Thursday that limited the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate bodies of water, calling it a "MAGA" court even though the decision was 9-0. On Thursday, the high court issued an opinion that narrowed the EPA's broad definition of Waters of the United States (WOTUS). The court said the federal government must define WOTUS as a water source with a "continuous surface connection" to major bodies of water.
The decision upended an attempt by the Biden administration to regulate wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams and other "relatively permanent" waterways, which had relied on a broad reading of the EPA's authority

Headline: Schumer rips 'MAGA' Supreme Court after 9-0 vote on EPA waters rule
Democrats really donât want to âMake America Great Againâ!
Would that it really was a MAGA Supreme Court, as well as every other court in America.

The power-mad Fascists in Permanent Washington wanted to control every ditch, field, and puddle that occasionally filled with rainwater. The Supreme Court told them that if they want that kind of power they're going to have to ask Congress for it (this is a constitutional republic, remember?). Schumer knows that won't happen, so he calls the Court the dirtiest word he has in his repetroire: MAGA - Make America Great Again.

Maybe the judges considered taking a trip in the forest someday and needing to go behind a tree without the EPA regulating how they urinated. The EPA rules would have allowed that.

For decades Schumer, et al., have reveled in passing slip-shod legislation so that deep-state friends are able to control our lives without the Congress seeming to be responsible. I am ecstatically surprised that the SC has finally agreed.

In other words, not even the most partisan and liberal justices could find a rule or statute that they could cling to so they could render a differing opinion.
That's how extreme of a position the Obama/Biden EPA over-reached with their scheme.

The senator with the merdivorous (or, if you prefer, coprophagous) smile needs to go away. He's been in the Senate for too long, and his addiction to Marxism has turned him stupid. He used to be smart. No longer.

The dimocrats need to be reminded MAGA stands for Make America Great Again. I don't see any problem with that.

When we were in the process of deciding where to build our home on the 1-1/2 acre lot we had purchased we had to have an EPA guy (cough, cough) review everything. He declared part of it a wetland because there was a tiny little creek at the back of the property and a spring in one corner. Did I mention he had just graduated college? Anyway, after some explanations he backed down. On the day we started putting in the foundation the ground was so hard the contractor had to use a big sledge hammer to pound the layout posts into the ground. The government is NOT your friend.

Iâm sure they had their eyes on eliminating any wetlands hunting, then fishing and then canoeing and kayaking. Donât even look wrong at the turtles, the âSwamp Czarâ will have you mopping up the Mississippi Delta.

Schumer is the most despised Senator, but only barely ahead of the other 50 Democrats, and followed slightly by McConnell, Romney, and Graham.

Schumer is that smelly stuff you scrape off of the bottom of your shoe sometimes so you don't track it into the house.
I have read the majority of Alito's decision, but not yet the multiple concurring decisions of Kavanaugh, Kagan and Thomas.
In any case, the SCOTUS has smacked down the thuggish EPA and limited their reach to the waters actually continuously in contact with interstate navigable waterways. The key phase seems to be "indistinguishable" from the clearly controlled waters. So a swamp along the margin of a lake is clearly indistinguishable and continuously connected to the lake.
The EPA says that the plaintiff's property is "near" a ditch which sometimes flows into a creek, so of course the EPA thugs and thugettes decided that it was clearly a "wetland" that they controlled.
Smack to EPA! Less reach for the EPA is always a good thing.

I am amazed at this being 9-0. Just amazed.
In perusing the SCOTUS web page today, reading various rulings I ran across an odd one.
Interesting that no news has noted that Kagan got a bit of a slap from the rest of the court for granting cert to a case referred cryptically as In Re Grand Jury, from the 9th Circuit. The full court's curt and polite decision is:
"The writ of certiorari is dismissed as improvidently granted."
This sounds like a smack to Justice Kagan who is responsible for "granting cert" for the 9th Circuit. I have never heard of a "cert" being dismissed without ruling. Perhaps it is more common than I imagine, but it seems like a substantial faux pas by Justice Kagan.

Chuckie who doth screams too loud means the SCOTUS got the ruling correct and unanimous. Who woulda thought that Elena, Sonia and Ketanji could actually make sense? We are living in a Bizzaro World.

Stop attacking the SJC, you stupid man, Schumer.
When is someone going to censure him? He's urged violence against the Court in the recent past, and Justices are now under almost constant threat.
When is someone going to make Schumer's words have consequences for him.
And of course, this was a 9-0 decision. How are all the Dem appointees feeling about being called "maga"?
But perhaps they, too, love America. It could happen, couldn't it?

There is a small spring-fed creek that runs by our local historical society headquarters. Every year we have to clean out brush and trash from the creek sides using our volunteers. We also have had to get a federal permit to allow us to do so. Ridiculous, but I guess it gives the government drones something to do.
