| Venue: | SCOTUS |
| Facts: | Something about wetlands and the army corps of engineers. |
| Posture: | Unclear. |
| Issue: | Apparently, what are "the waters of the United States?" This is about the Clean Water Act. |
| Holding: | They include certain wetlands, that's for sure. |
| Rule: | Dictionary definition of waters, text of CWA. The fact that it says "navigable waters" encompases things that directly feed navigable waters. |
| Reasoning: | The purpose of the law is to maintain the integrity of the nations waters. This has only a speculative connection. |
| Dicta: | Dissent: federal agencies are empowered to interpret regulations. |
