San Francisco handed #SCOTUS the chance to weaken the #CleanWaterAct -- and they took it.
This ruling will make it easier for polluters to pollute, and harder for regulators to protect the health of people and the environment. Really shameful.

@sfbaykeeper No that gets it backwards.
They didn't weaken the act, they strengthened it by emphasizing what it actually says.
If Congress wants to change the act then they absolutely can. And under this philosophy the changes will be buttressed by court rulings.
The act just didn't say what some people thought it should say.
