What’s Needed to Roll Back Obama’s Regulatory Regime

[Geee]

Heritage Foundation:

Last week’s Daily Signal op-ed on a new regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency provided an informative crash course on the history of private property rights and its relation to the Clean Water Act.

 

Judging by the transcripts and media reports of the oral arguments from the March 30, 2016 Army Corps v. Hawkes Co. oral arguments, it is not out of the realm of possibility that the Supreme Court will once again rebuke the Obama administration for failing to uphold its duties.

 

What the article failed to point out is that the House of Representatives has been fighting this issue since 2012. Most recently, the House and Senate passed a resolution pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, which formally disapproves of the EPA’s Waters of the United States rule (WOTUS). Unfortunately, the president vetoed the commonsense resolution.
