Trump plan to weaken Endangered Species Act cites 1995 Scalia dissent
Original: Trump's sneaky plan to gut Endangered Species Act draws from 1995 Scalia dissent
The Trump administration is pursuing changes that would significantly weaken the Endangered Species Act, and the legal reasoning behind the effort draws heavily on a 1995 dissent written by the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Critics describe the approach as a backdoor attempt to hollow out protections for threatened wildlife without going through Congress, reviving a decades-old argument that Scalia first laid out on the Supreme Court.
Why now: A new attempt to roll back landmark wildlife protections using a decades-old Scalia legal argument has drawn attention from conservation and policy observers.
