Trump plan would weaken Endangered Species Act using Scalia dissent
Original: Trump's sneaky plan to gut Endangered Species Act draws from 1995 Scalia dissent
The Trump administration is pursuing changes to the Endangered Species Act that reportedly draw on a 1995 dissent by the late Justice Antonin Scalia. The argument, rejected by the Supreme Court at the time, would narrow how habitat destruction counts as harming endangered species. Critics call the approach a stealth effort to weaken protections, warning it could strip key habitat safeguards from threatened wildlife.
Why now: A legal strategy rooted in a decades-old Scalia dissent being revived to weaken a landmark environmental law is striking to readers.
