The court issued two opinions this morning that may be of interest to Freepers.
The first, issued by Justice Barrett was:
Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency, No. 21-454 [Arg: 10.3.2022 Trans.; Decided 5.25.2023]
Holding: The Clean Water Act extends only to wetlands that have a continuous surface connection with “waters” of the United States — i.e., with a relatively permanent body of water connected to traditional interstate navigable waters, 33 U.S.C. § 1362(7) — making it difficult to determine where the water ends and the wetland begins.
The second, by Justice Roberts was:
Tyler v. Hennepin County, Minnesota, No. 22-166 [Arg: 04.26.2023 Trans.; Decided 5.25.2023]
Holding: Geraldine Tyler plausibly alleges that Hennepin County unconstitutionally retained the excess value of her home above her tax debt in violation of the takings clause.

starting to get the itch to read ‘em all over again.
Yeah, it’s a tributary of the Verde river, so it does connect to a real navigable waterway, just only when there’s enough water to flood it.
the government wants to control all water, then they can control you and i by dening us access. another global government scheme.
