Supreme Court curtails Clean Water Act's authority over wetlands.

The Supreme Court has ruled that an Idaho couple's property does not include wetlands subject to federal oversight under the Clean Water Act, weakening the landmark water pollution law. The decision ends a yearslong battle between the Sacketts and the federal government and is a victory for conservative groups and business interests opposed to the broad application of the water pollution law. The ruling is another example of the court's conservative justices powering a decision that curbs broad power of federal agencies, a consistent theme in recent years.
