National Association of Manufacturers v. U.S. Dep't of Defense   (U.S. Supreme Court)

Appeal of Waters of the United States (WOTUS) jurisdictional issue

The MCLA secured a 9–0 victory in the U.S. Supreme Court that resolved a procedural obstacle that had delayed the appropriate federal court from considering legal challenges to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2015 “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) Rule. This legal win cleared the path for the MCLA’s lawsuit to invalidate the rule to proceed in federal district court, where the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas ultimately invalidated the rule and remanded it back to the EPA for reproposal.
