Environmentalists Get Partial Wins at Supreme Court

Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the Vermont Law School, discusses the Supreme Court Superfund cleanup decision that split the victory among the landowners of Montana, the Atlantic Richfield Co. and the Environmental Protection Agency. Greg Stohr, Bloomberg Supreme Court Reporter, discusses the high court’s decision giving environmentalists a partial win on the scope of the Clean Water Act and a ruling that the Constitution requires a unanimous jury to convict defendants of serious crimes, overturning a decades-old precedent and highlighting deep divides among the justices over adherence to their past rulings. They speak to host June Grasso.
