Environmental Protection Agency for Clean Water Act Protections of Wetlands and Streams." The Court's decision in Sackett was the latest assault on the EPA’s power to clean up our environment and hold polluters accountable.

Are there any people working with you going after these criminals? Are there any rich people funding those who have enough power to succeed in helping our country?

      I beg to differ: obviously, the soulless, arrogant, power tripping cowards, absolutely love THEMSELVES❢❢❢
      Their own obscenely overrated self worth has convinced them that they have every right to engage in taking bribes in the pursuit of satisfying their own personal desires- regardless of the cost!!! They act as though the American people ought to be grateful for such a bargain! Well, contrary to their beliefs, they aren't above answering for selling out America! Their beyond shameless and outright refusal to even be questioned concerning the abundant evidence supporting claims about their gross acts of injustice is inexcusable.
      It baffles the mind that this has festered for decades now, especially in reference to thomas and alito (to say nothing of roberts, gorsuch and the late POS-scalia)🤯⚠🤬🤬🤬❢❢❢

Real justice no longer exists in these United States but is in the hands of big business, Donald Trump and the ultra right conservatives.
