"A majority in Sackett could adopt Justice Scalia's definition and thereby shrink the reach of the Clean Water Act, particularly to wetlands," Kuh said. "Despite the import of the underlying question of statutory interpretation and clear disagreement in lower courts, procedural aspects of the case would seem to weigh against granting certiorari."
