The Supreme Court voted to rein in the power of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate wetlands in a complex decision issued on May 25, the second time in a year that the court has curbed federal environmental authority.

All three liberal justices and one conservative justice expressed their opposition to the court’s decision to adopt a new definition for wetlands.
