Courts - More on: U.S. seeks clarity on muddy Rapanos ruling
Updating this ILB entry from Aug. 26th, Lyle Denniston of SCOTUSBlog writes Aug. 29th in an entry that begins:
The Justice Department on Friday urged the Supreme Court to leave intact a federal appeals court ruling on the scope of the government’s authority to protect wetlands from pollution — in this case, discharges from home septic tanks. Although the Fifth Circuit Court ruling being challenged in the case, Lucas v. U.S. (07-1512), is one of a series of rulngs contributing to confusion over the meaning of the Clean Water Act, the Justice Department prefers to have that issue decided by the Justices in a newly filed government appeal — U.S. v. McWane, Inc.
