San Francisco Invokes Supreme Court's Bureaucracy-Weakening Ruling In Lawsuit Against EPA
Authored by Matthew Vadum via The Epoch Times,
San Francisco will invoke the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling from last month that weakened federal regulators’ powerin its upcoming case challenging federal wastewater discharge regulations, according to a brief that the city filed with the high court on July 19.
The city is arguing that Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials misinterpreted a provision of the federal Clean Water Act of 1972 when they issued a discharge permit. In issuing the permit, the officials deviated from the framework of the statute so much that they revived the old regulatory approach that the law had replaced, according to the city.
