WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetlands determinations can be challenged in court (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes Co.).

“The Obama administration may think it’s above the law, but the Supreme Court confirmed today it certainly is not. This decision is just the latest blow to the president’s regulatory rampage. Families and small businesses across the country shouldn’t have to fight Washington just to use their own property. Now the Supreme Court should go one step further and strike down the entire Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule before more Americans are strangled by this unprecedented Washington water grab.”
