The exchange was so awkward, it should have been followed by the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song. While #Trump was shaking hands down the aisle, exiting the House chamber after his address last night, network cameras caught him as he turned to Chief Justice #JohnRoberts, patted him on the back, & said, “Thank you again. Thank you again. I won’t forget.” Roberts, whose back was to the camera, then headed for the exit.

The dispute fundamentally focused on human waste & how #SanFrancisco disposes of it. The question before the court was whether the #CleanWaterAct of 1972 allowed the #EPA to impose prohibitions on #wastewater released into the #PacificOcean & to penalize the city for violating them.

The case was notable because it created unusual alliances. Liberal #SanFrancisco found itself on the same side as #mining & #petroleum trade groups like the National Mining Assn, American Farm Bureau Federation, & American #Fuel & #Petrochemical Manufacturers in opposing the #EPA.

#SCOTUS sided w/ #SanFrancisco on Tues in a challenge to #water quality #regulations issued by the #EPA in a ruling that could have sweeping implications for the agency’s ability to limit offshore #pollution.
The 5-to-4 decision dealt another blow to the agency, which has recently sustained several losses before the court over its efforts to protect the #environment.

#SCOTUS appeared to support the idea of making it easier for #men, #Whites & #heterosexuals people to sue for job #discrimination, based on oral arguments Wednesday in the case of an Ohio woman who claims she faced anti-straight bias in the workplace.

“Since court rulings are not laws & only legislatures elected by the people may pass laws, #Obergefell is an illegitimate overreach,” the resolution reads. It continues: “The Idaho Legislature calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell & restore the *natural* definition of #marriage, a union of one man & one woman” [tell that to the Mormons]

That has not deterred lawmakers in #Idaho, however. This week, a State House cmte overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling on #SCOTUS to undo #ObergefellVHodges, the landmark 2015 decision that gave same-sex couples the right to marry….
The resolution would still need approval by the full House & the ID Senate before any request could be sent to #SCOTUS. Both chambers in ID are controlled by #Republicans.

A state legislative cmte has advanced a resolution asking that the power to regulate #marriage be returned to states.
Since 1793, when the #US #SupremeCourt declined a request by Pres George Washington to offer #legal guidance on foreign relations, the court’s justices have steered away from weighing in outside the context of a formal lawsuit.

The closely watched case tests how far #SCOTUS is willing to go in a…steady expansion in the use of tax dollars to support parochial #education & a push by the #SupremeCourt in recent terms to enlarge #religion’s role in the public sphere.
The court has already allowed #government #funding of vouchers for #religious private #schools. Backers say allowing funding for religious charter schools, which parents also opt into, is the *logical* next step.

#SCOTUS to weigh whether states can allow #religious #PublicSchools
The #US #SupremeCourt agreed Friday to consider whether the state of #Oklahoma may fund a proposed #Catholic charter school, a blockbuster case that could redraw the line between #ChurchAndState by allowing #government to establish & directly #fund religious schools for the first time.
