Trump plan to weaken Endangered Species Act draws on Scalia dissent
Original: Trump's sneaky plan to gut Endangered Species Act draws from 1995 Scalia dissent
The Trump administration is pursuing changes to the Endangered Species Act that reportedly take their legal reasoning from Justice Antonin Scalia's 1995 dissent in Sweet Home Chapter of Communities for a Greater Oregon. That dissent argued the law should not protect habitat modifications that do not directly harm animals. Critics call the move a stealth effort to narrow protections for threatened species and their habitats.
Why now: The administration is advancing a regulatory change that could significantly weaken US wildlife protections, sparking debate among conservationists and legal observers.
