The Supreme Court on Thursday limited federal protection for wetlands, ruling that marshy areas are usually not covered by the Clean Water Act or protected from development unless water flows directly from them into a waterway such as a river, lake or bay. The court ruled for a couple who were blocked from building a home on a soggy vacant lot next to scenic Priest Lake in Idaho. "We hold that the CWA extends to only those 'wetlands with a continuous surface connection to bodies that are waters of the United States in their own right,' so that they are 'indistinguishable' from those waters," said Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. for a 5-4 majority.

Absolutely beautiful!! Now we need SCOTUS to undo the Chevron precedent and by doing so cut the legs off of these unelected agencies.

Good decision, 5-4 is horse shite. Should have been 6-3 or 7-2.
The EPA has been severely overstepping their boundaries with what is considered “wetlands” for years. My backyard at my previous house would have been considered a wetland because the developer did a shite job with drainage, meaning it was swampy after and hard rain. Hell, about 60-70% of my town would have been considered wetlands in 2016.

they all agreed the case in the favor of the homeowner, but their opinion was a narrow focus, whereas the majority opion was a wide range resppnse. claiming that in order to be a waterway/wetland it must be "indistinguishable" for water of the united states.
so they shot down what the EPA can claim as a wayer way with their decision
Scotusblog has a better explanation on what the ruling states
