"The District Court dismissed the claims for want of subject-matter jurisdiction. The Ninth Circuit affirmed, concluding that the Clean Water Act precluded preenforcement judicial review of compliance orders and that such preclusion did not violate due process... SCALIA, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court."

Wow. A unanimous SCOTUS triple smackdown of the District Court, the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals (they should be used to this by now!) and the EPA (they deserve a lot more smackdowns).

This decision is merely a pheric(sp) victory! Even though its the SCOTUS and unanimous, they've only won a very limited battle and come no where near winning the infernal war!!!
