Trump plan to weaken Endangered Species Act borrows from 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 strategy draws heavily on a 1995 dissent written by the late Justice Antonin Scalia. That opinion argued for narrowing the law's application to critical habitats. Conservation groups are expected to challenge the approach in court as an attempt to roll back protections through regulatory reinterpretation rather than legislation.
Why now: The administration is reviving a long-dormant legal argument to scale back one of America's keystone environmental laws, raising alarms among conservationists.
