WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rebuffed a challenge by three conservation groups to the authority of President Donald Trump’s administration to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a victory for Trump who has made the wall a centerpiece of his hardline immigration policies.
The justices’ declined to hear the groups’ appeal of a ruling by a federal judge in California rejecting their claims that the administration had pursued border wall projects without complying with applicable environmental laws. The groups are the Center for Biological Diversity, the Animal Legal Defense Fund and Defenders of Wildlife.
Their lawsuits said construction operations would harm plants, rare wildlife habitats, threatened coastal birds like the snowy plover and California gnatcatcher, and other species such as fairy shrimp and the Quino checkerspot butterfly.
Trump has clashed with U.S. lawmakers, particularly Democrats, over his plans for an extensive and costly border wall that he has called necessary to combat illegal immigration and drug smuggling.

” The groups are the Center for Biological Diversity, the Animal Legal Defense Fund and Defenders of Wildlife.”
None of these sound conservative, except for allegedly “conservation”.
Defenders of Wildlife is a Soros organization.

Is everyone in America illiterate today? Why the hell doesn’t the author know how to correctly use apostrophes? It’s mortifying.
But they are okay with “migrants” trashing the very state and national parks they are traversing.
Thats’ jus’t how things’ are thes’e days.
Auto-error, formerly known as autocorrect.
Answering your hypothetical, yes 80% are illiterate.
Meanwhile, these sorts of decisions are why we voted for President Trump.
Their traversing into this country nilly willy is a bio-hazard as well. With the trash they leave scattered and the communicable diseases they’re transporting. Ecowankers unite!
Good news for our country.
Finish building the Wall or shutdown the border until funding is allocated and immigration laws are changed!!!
Just the first in a never-ending series of delaying tactics by Democrats and also by many Congressional Republicans who care more about the US Chamber of Commerce and getting cheap labor than they do about securing the borders. It’ll only be a sad day for these types if/when the border wall is finally built.
I'm sure the author would blame auto-correct. I blame laziness. Not taking the time to proof read their work.
Happens here on FR all the time.
The justices’ declined to hear the groups’ ...

I wonder myself about this sort of obvious grammatical error. But I’ve just learned that a, b, c, and d is also OK. Not when I went to school. Should be a, b, c and d.
But who am I to judge? Probably poor editing of automated word processor “correction” generated text.
the Center for Biological Diversity ant the top of thier home page:
“We’ve sued Trump 98 times — and we’re nowhere near finished.”
Maybe not everyone, but the majority, yes.
Not the Quino checkerspot butterfly! Oh the humanity!
Not near as costly as the long term costs associated with illegal immigration, drug smuggling, and violent crime. Our society pays a huge price for this unchecked flood of problems.
Yes, shame everything has to be ‘edited’ 3 or 4 times as auto whatever keeps ‘changing’...make one ‘correction’ and it ‘respells’ another word....
Progress....
IF
PROgress is moving ahead—
What does
CONgress mean?
Regarding your a,b,c and d versus a,b,c, and d: Look up and learn about the “Oxford comma”.
Without the comma, “c and d” leaves an ambiguity regarding whether “c and d” are considered to be one item, whereas using the Oxford comma leaves no doubt as to the separate status of “c, and d”.
Precision and accuracy are the reasons for using “it”.
All of these groups owe their existence to the EPA.
EPA has paid them to conduct studies. Then these groups turn around and sue EPA, who chooses to settle out of court, furthering the radical environmentalist agenda.
I suspect those days are over for now.
