The Supreme Court on Monday denied the Trump administration's request to place a hold on litigation over former President Barack Obama's Waters of the U.S. rule so it can begin repealing it.
The high court denied the administration's request without explanation.
The Justice Department wanted the high court to hold off on hearing a case, National Association of Manufacturers v. Department of Defense et al, on the Environmental Protection Agency's water rule until it had time to review the regulation on its own, "paving the way for the elimination of this very destructive and horrible rule," President Trump said.

Repeal it tomorrow and let the court waste their time on a law that no longer exists.
The swamp doesn’t want to be drained.
Seriously, why can’t Trump trippled the lawyers on that Obama order and just end it?
How and when did this get to the Supreme Court? LOL
“Why have a President if the courts make the laws “
You probably did not mean it that way, but neither the President nor the courts can “make” the laws. Only congress can make the laws.
All EO should be null and void once the executive branch changes hands. So, all Obama EO is null and void.
Fu*k these out of control Judges! They think they rule this country!
“How and when did this get to the Supreme Court? LOL”
Exactly. How did this get to the Supreme Court so fast?
Trump should just deem this rule null and void.
Isn’t that what Barky & the Socialists did?
Exactly. We are ruled by 9 clowns in black robes. This is NOT the free republic our founders created.
I wonder when and how this usurpation is going to end.
as I read this, this issue is at SCOTUS to determine who has jurisdiction.
They née to be removed and/or ignored re that great Democrat Andrew Jackson!!!!!
“Agreed. That would make Obamacare collapse in an instant.”
The Republicans control both houses of congress and the WH, yet Obamacare is still fully intact — and being polished upon. We should all stop deluding ourselves that Obamacare will be repealed, unless the FC grows by 10x and the Republicans stop their in-fighting.
Is this the rule that declares my flush toilet a navigable waterway...triggering federal flood insurance?
Feels like fake news.
Where do these unelected old fags and lesbos get the authority to pull this kind of sh*t?
