These rulings have nothing to do with the Tea Party. You are the anti-american asshole with all your inflamatory nonsense.

As a result of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rule changes to the enforcement of the Clean Water Act, it now only automatically applies to permanent navigable waters and the wetlands attached to these waters. Intermittent and non-navigable waters and their wetlands may or may not be protected depending upon other criteria including whether or not they are attached to navigable waterways. These changes were the result of a Supreme Court ruling last year that ruled in the words Justice Anthony Kennedy that there must be a "significant nexus" between a wetland and/or waters and a navigable waterway. The cause of the navigable water requirement in the Supreme Court's ruling is the wording of the Clean Water Act itself, which under Title I Section 101(a)(1) states:
it is the national goal that the discharge of pollutants into the navigable waters be eliminated by 1985. |
So you're saying that this happened last year, as a result of the wording of the Clean Water Act, based on the judgement of justices that were all in place before the "Tea Party" was even a national movement, let alone having anyone in office?????
Golly, now that doesn't sound like the original post, does it?
Weird.
