The case comes as the Biden administration is actively redefining the boundaries of the waters of the US in an effort to undo Trump-era rollbacks to federal protections

Washington The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to take up a case that could limit the federal government's jurisdiction over wetlands protected under the Clean Water Act.

.The petitioners in the case, Michael and Chantell Sackett, are asking the court to revisit a 2006 decision that resulted in two ways of interpreting where the Clean Water Act's domain ends. The Sacketts argue that the plurality opinion in that case, led by the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, concluded that the law's requirements encompasses actual navigable waters and wetlands only with a"continuous surface connection.
