Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The case, Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency, centered on an Idaho couple, Michael and Chantell Sackett, who tried to build a house on property they purchased in 2005.
43% : On Thursday, the Supreme Court tightened the federal government's ability to police water pollution, ruling that the Clean Water Act does not allow the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate discharges into some wetlands near bodies of water.
43% : The implications are far reaching: it's estimated that more than half of the nation's wetlands don't meet the Court's criteria, meaning developers, oil companies, farmers, etc. can contaminate clean water on unconnected wetlands without permits and would not be required to restore said wetlands if damaged.
