“In a unanimous opinion, the Supreme Court ruled that landowners have a right to direct, meaningful
judicial review if the EPA effectively seizes control of their property by declaring it to be "wetlands."
The Court ruled in favor of PLF clients Mike and Chantell Sackett, of Priest Lake, Idaho, who were told
by the EPA -- and by the Ninth Circuit -- that they could not get direct court review of EPA's claim that
their two-thirds of an acre parcel is "wetlands" and that they must obey a detailed and intrusive EPA
“Administrative Compliance Order” or be hit with fines of up to $75,000 per day.”

Judge Samuel Alito’s ruling for the Sackett case stated: "The reach of the Clean Water Act is
notoriously unclear. Any piece of land that is wet at least part of the year is in danger of being
classified by EPA employees as wetlands covered by the act, and according to the federal government,
if property owners begin to construct a home on a lot that the agency thinks possesses the requisite
wetness, the property owners are at the agency's mercy," Alito wrote.

"The court's decision provides a modest measure of relief," he added. "But the combination of the
uncertain reach of the Clean Water Act and the draconian penalties imposed for the sort of violations
alleged in this case still leaves most property owners with little practical alternative but to dance to the
EPA's tune. Real relief requires Congress to do what it should have done in the first place: provide a
reasonably clear rule regarding the reach of the Clean Water Act."

“A panel of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has struck down the EPA's
"Transport Rule," also known as the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, based on the EPA's exceeding the
authority permitted it by statute….The Transport Rule was a dagger aimed at the heart of the coal-
powered electricity industry, the first step in President Obama's stated goal of causing electricity
prices to "necessarily skyrocket."

That is the tyrannical spirit of AGENDA 21. “Sen. James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) stated that this
type of EPA mentality – and action – has been intimidating and threatening businesses for years.”

”AGENDA 21 has not been ratified by the U.S. Senate, but it may not have to be if in a second Obama
term the Environmental Protection Agency pursues it by stealth, as it has other environmental
AGENDAs that make war on the free enterprise system and rights we hold dear.”

A federal judge overruled the EPA’s incredible attempt to classify stormwater as a pollutant! “The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency has exceeded its authority by attempting to regulate water itself as a
pollutant by imposing restrictions on the flow of stormwater into Fairfax County’s Accotink Creek.”

“The EPA has pushed to regulate—control—every body of water in America, no matter how small. A
recent court decision derailed EPA storm-water regulations that would have established a first-time
standard for post-construction storm-water runoff could include mandates on cities to change existing
buildings, storm-water sewer systems, and streets. It would have been the most expensive rule in EPA
history.

A new EPA ozone standard will occur, one that the EPA estimates would cost $90 billion a year while
other studies put the figure at nearly a trillion dollars and destroy 7.4 million jobs. The EPA’s
