Having demonstrated their disdain for human rights, the Conservative U.S. Supreme Court has now decided to trash the Clean Water Act by narrowly defining protected wetlands as those that abut rivers, lakes and oceans.
Demonstrating ignorance of the vital interconnection and interdependence of our Planet's ecosystems, the Court seems especially blind to the value of clean water as we face a warming climate. Of course, they are more concerned with the rights of industry than they are with the health of our environment.
More than fifty years after the Clean Water Act was passed by Congress, it is unconscionable that the Supreme Court would condone any form of pollution. Modern technology has offered solutions but the Conservative Right want to return to an era when racism, misogyny and environmental pollution were all in vogue.
