Courts - U.S. seeks clarity on muddy Rapanos ruling
SCOTUSBlog's Lyle Denniston has a long entry today that begins:
The U.S. government, arguing that the lower courts have fallen into confusion and disagreement over federal power to protect wetlands, has urged the Supreme Court to make clear what it meant in the “highly fractured” ruling two years ago in Rapanos v. U.S. (04-1034) — a significant decision on the scope of the Clean Water Act.Here is an ILB entry from Sept. 22, 2006 on a 7th Circuit action on a case out of Wisconsin, U.S. v. Gerke Excavating, which had been remanded to the Circuit Court, post-Raponas.
