The fact that they will get their day in court is a big victory for property owners everywhere.

It's too bad they (Supreme court) don't feel the same about Eminent Domain.

You're not a "it's for the greater good" kind of guy?

. . . or just don't like how "they" decide when a particular piece of property that is being taken is for greater good?

the Court's decision sounds reasonable here. Glad they made it.

The EPA's actions were pretty egregious.

The article said they were slapped with the order from the EPA four years ago. Which would be 2008, which was when the Bush Admin was in its aimless, wandering, lame duck days.

$5 says some GOP appointee in the EPA decided this would make a nice story conservatives could use to attack the EPA & "big government" in general, and decided to nail some hapless schlubs in Idaho before the Obama administration took office, knowing he'd be long gone when it all hit the fan.

OR

maybe this really was federally protected wetland, and the local bumwads should've checked that out before issuing permits and building on it?

The article doesn't explain.

. . . Still 9-0 would suggest the right thing was done.

Man you are cynical.
