WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — Senator John Thune recently filed an amici curiae brief in support of the petitioners in the pending case Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Sackett case is directly related to how much authority the federal government has over states and private citizens to regulate “waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act.
In February, Thune led the entire Senate Republican Conference in urging the EPA to suspend the pending rulemaking as the case is expected to have major implications on CWA scope and enforcement.
