EPA Seeks To Avoid Second Trip To The Supreme Court With The Sacketts

The Sacketts of Idaho want the Supreme Court of the United States to intervene on their behalf for a second time.   Now, just weeks before the ten year anniversary of the Sackett's first successful trip to the Supreme Court, we have EPA's brief in opposition to the Sacketts' request. 

To catch up on how the Sacketts and EPA have again arrived on the steps of the nation's highest court see my blog earlier this year, www.insights.mintz.com/post/102h51e/with-friends-like-these-another-federal-appeals-court-takes-clean-water-act.

EPA says that the Supreme Court should stay out of its most recent effort to determine the reach of the Federal Clean Water Act until EPA finalizes a rule it published earlier this month and the inevitable legal challenges to that rule work their way through the Courts.
