Summary: PLF's Harold Johnson, PLF principal attorney Reed Hopper and Director of Litigation Jim Burling discuss PLF's WOTUS case being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. Specifically the question raised is which court get's to hear if the waters of the United States rule is appropriate or not. In the case that the High Court accepted — National Association of Manufacturers v. U.S. Department of Defense — the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals adopted a restrictive approach to judicial relief, allowing only federal courts of appeals to hear WOTUS challenges.
