Supreme Court Undermines Environmental Protections with Recent Rulings.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the Supreme Court's unanimous decision to limit the EPA's ability to regulate bodies of water, calling it a "MAGA" court. The ruling narrowed the EPA's definition of Waters of the United States (WOTUS) and upended the Biden administration's attempt to regulate wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams, and other waterways. Republicans and industry groups embraced the decision as a blow against federal overreach, while the White House said the decision "aims to take our country backwards."
