Election Month Ruling By Supreme Court Regrettable

June 29, 2026, Fairfax, Va.-Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement on the Supreme Court's ruling in Watson v. Republican National Committee:
"In an apparent bid to avert Democrats' threatened Supreme Court packing scheme, Republican-appointed justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett have apparently opted to just give Democratseverything they want including an election month voting where ballots are counted no matter how late they arrive after Election Day. Arguing there is no prohibition against late ballots, the nation's highest court has effectively made Election Day a dead letter. Now, the only resort for the American people who want to restore same-day voting is for Congress to pass another statute to clarify what federal law has already stated for more than a century was 'the day for the election...' This ruling is regrettable and will prove Stalin's maxim that it is not those who vote, but those who count the ballots that decide everything."

Nonprofits Sue to Block New USDA Rules That Force Them to Change or Abandon Food Access Work
Plaintiff groups seek stay and preliminary ruling to stop potential grantees from facing vague anti-DEI terms and serious threats for failure to comply
-
Seattle, WA -- Five nonprofit organizations working to build a more just food system filed suit late yesterday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), to challengeunlawful terms and conditions that USDA is imposing on new grants. These terms and conditions substantially restrict grantees' speech and programming in support of diversity and equity, bar using grant funding on whatever the administration says is "promoting gender ideology," and limit grantees' work in support of immigrants.
The plaintiffs -- Agroecology Commons, Oregon Farm Corps, Syracuse-Onondaga Food Systems Alliance (SOFSA), Third Sector New England, and the Washington Farmland Trust -- will be asking the court to put the new terms and conditions on hold while the case proceeds. Plaintiffs are represented by Public Citizen Litigation Group, Earthjustice, and FarmSTAND.
The new terms and conditions require USDA grantees to agree not to promote "unlawful DEI" or "gender ideology" or to use grant funding to create "incentives for illegal immigration by demonstrating the availability of public benefits." The terms even attempt to control the grantees' work and speech outside of the grant, demanding they not "operate any programs that advance or promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws."
These terms put the plaintiffs in this case in a high-stakes bind: If the Trump administration deems them to have violated the terms and conditions -- despite the vagueness and otherwise unlawfulness of the terms -- they might not just lose future payments of the grant. The new terms threaten civil and criminal liability for making supposed false claims.
These terms have already forced the plaintiff organizations filing this case to substantially reorient their work. Two plaintiff groups have decided that they cannot accept any funds from USDA unless the court blocks these terms and conditions from being applied to them, as they fear serious consequences if the Trump administration decides that they are not complying with grant terms. The effects of that decision are substantial: plaintiff Washington Farmland Trust, for instance, will have to decline $676,000 in funding that could be going to critical support for farmers unless the court blocks these terms and conditions from being applied to them.
"Farmers need land in order to grow and raise our food. Washington Farmland Trust's Farm to Farmer program helps farmers access the land, resources, and capital they need to be successful," said Melissa Campbell, Executive Director of Washington Farmland Trust. "This grant would have allowed us to grow the infrastructure of this critical program to serve more farmers. Instead, we're faced with the impossible choice of pulling back from our mission-critical work or losing out on catalytic funding that would help us better serve our communities. If the court blocks the USDA's problematic terms, farmers will be able to receive the essential support they need to continue to grow food for us all."
"Organizations like the plaintiffs do essential work to fight hunger, protect the environment, and ensure that communities across the country have access to healthy, local food," said Stephanie Garlock, attorney at Public Citizen Litigation Group and lead counsel for the plaintiffs. "They should not have to choose between continuing that work and submitting to the Trump administration's ideological speech code on issues of public policy."
While this case seeks to proactively block USDA from implementing these new and unprecedented terms and conditions, other pending lawsuits challenge other unlawful actions by USDA with respect to grants. For instance, in a suit brought by Earthjustice, FarmSTAND, and others challenging termination of grants, the court recently granted a preliminary injunction restoring $127 million in grants to Increasing Land, Capital, and Market Access program grantees.
"The First Amendment rights of these plaintiffs are at stake in this case, and so is the future of critical work to build a fair food system that works for everyone," said David Muraskin, Managing Director of Litigation at FarmSTAND. "The court must block these unlawful, unprecedented terms and conditions. If it doesn't, the Trump administration's enforcement of them will force USDA grantees to abandon important work in support of the next generation of farmers, for fear of serious consequences for violating the new terms."
"USDA's new terms and conditions for grants are yet another example of this administration's unlawful politicization of programs designed by Congress to support farmers and rural communities," said Carrie Apfel, Deputy Managing Attorney of the Sustainable Food and Farming Program at Earthjustice. "USDA should stop claiming to help farmers when instead it is undermining the very food and farming communities these programs were created to serve. This sort of illegal gamesmanship should not be tolerated."

Michigan Supreme Court Orders More Rigorous Review of Line 5 Tunnel Case
Lansing, MI. - Today, the Michigan Supreme Court handed down a decision that sided with environmental and Tribal groups in their combined cases that challenged Enbridge Energy's efforts to bore a tunnel beneath the Straits of Mackinac to house its Line 5 oil pipeline. The Supreme Court overturned a lower court decision that upheld the Michigan Public Service Commission's (MPSC) approval for thetunnel. The decision reverts the case back to the MPSC for a more thorough review of the tunnel's impact on Michiganders and the environment, as required by the landmark Michigan Environmental Protection Act (MEPA).
The Supreme Court concluded that the lower court applied the incorrect legal standard, that the MPSC's review of the environmental harms from the tunnel was improperly narrow, and that the MPSC failed to consider the tunnel's impact on public trust resources. The Court concluded that the MPSC must consider whether, as plaintiffs allege, the Line 5 tunnel would extend the risks of pumping oil across the Great Lakes and throughout Michigan for another 99 years.
The Environmental Law & Policy Center (ELPC) and Michigan Climate Action Network (MiCAN) argued alongside the Bay Mills Indian Community, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, and the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi, represented by Earthjustice and the Native American Rights Fund (NARF). Flow Water Advocates argued that the MPSC should have rejected the tunnel under common-law public trust doctrine.
Denise Keele, PhD, Executive Director of MiCAN, said:
"This inspiring decision accepts the undeniable reality of the need to consider the likely impacts from increased greenhouse gas emissions, and all the risks Michiganders will bear if we continue to allow a foreign corporation to profit from a shortcut through the Great Lakes. We now have a chance to stop new fossil fuel infrastructure and avoid nearly 30 million tons of carbon emissions annually. We are committed to supporting the process moving forward and are grateful for the opportunity to show that the tunnel is not a safer option, especially as Michigan leads the way toward a clean energy future." Keele continued to remark on co-plaintiffs outcome "Additionally, this decision not only acknowledges climate change, but the voices of a sovereign tribal nation, the Bay Mills Indian Community, whose way of life, sacred sites, and ancestors will now have a chance to be protected. We stand as allies with our tribal partners as we live to fight another day and stop this risky and unnecessary tunnel."
David Scott, Senior Attorney at ELPC and MiCAN's pro bono attorneys, said:
"Today the Michigan Supreme Court sent a clear message that the Line 5 tunnel has not yet received the rigorous environmental review that Michigan law requires. The Court's decision stands as an important reminder that the Michigan Environmental Protection Act means what it says: that regulators and courts must determine all of the tunnel's polluting and impairing effects on Michigan's air, water, and natural resources and thoroughly analyze the alternatives to this project. We look forward to reengaging before the Michigan Public Service Commission to pursue a full environmental review and alternatives analysis consistent with the Michigan Supreme Court's directions."

-
(Washington, D.C.) A U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit today rejected legal challenges to a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rule designed to help connect more clean energy to U.S. power grids - and do it more quickly.
"Clearing the way for more affordable clean energy will help lower electricity costs andmeet rising power demand when Americans need it the most," said Ted Kelly, Lead Counsel for Environmental Defense Fund, which is a party to the case. "Today's court decision upholds FERC's clear authority to speed up interconnection, to modernize the rules that govern U.S. power grids, and to make sure utilities meet their deadlines."
The D.C. Circuit ruling in Advanced Energy United v. FERC involved challenges from utilities and other groups to FERC's Order 2023, the Generator Interconnection Rule - a set of reforms that will help ease the way for clean energy projects to get online. As the court recognized, FERC issued the rule to address a "decades-long traffic jam" preventing clean energy and storage from getting onto the grid, with delays averaging five years. By upholding the Interconnection Rule, this decision will support a massive acceleration of low-cost clean energy and storage that reduces power bills and reduces health-harming pollution--as long as the Trump administration stops imposing cynical and unlawful roadblocks to clean affordable energy. Environmental Defense Fund intervened in support of the rule.

STATEMENT: Governor's Ocean Protection Council recommends protecting more of California's coastal waters
Expected 'Super' El Nino, kelp forest devastation cited as reasons for action
-
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Governor's Deputy Secretary for ocean and coastal policy, and the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) released on Friday an analysis of threats to the ocean and recommendations to strengthen and expand California's marine protected areas off the coast.
Theagency recommended approving proposals to create two new marine protected areas off the Central Coast, Point Sal near Santa Barbara County, and Mishopshno, off Carpinteria, California. Native tribes led the development of each proposal.
OPC also recommended expanding the marine protected areas at Point Conception near Santa Barbara and Point Dume in Malibu, to encompass more of the last vibrant healthy kelp forests along the Southern California coast and protecting more of Duxbury Reef off shore at Bolinas, California, and strengthening protections at Pyramid Point and Anacapa Island.
The Ocean Protection Council's recommendations expand on those from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife recommendations, which were much more limited.
Several environmental and community organizations, including Environment California Research and Policy Center and Azul, submitted proposals in December 2023 to protect an additional 2% of our state waters as our most important coastal habitats face unprecedented and worsening threats from global overfishing, marine heatwaves and the loss of more than 90% of kelp forest habitat. The California Fish and Game Commission will formally review the new recommendations at the August meeting and is expected to vote on the various organizations' proposals in October 2026.
In response, Environment California Research and Policy Center State Director Laura Deehan issued the following statement:
"The health of our ocean is critical to our state's future. Vibrant ocean ecosystems, full of darting fish, soaring seabirds and diving sea lions, rely on strong protections for our most important marine habitats, from kelp forests to rocky reefs and eelgrass meadows.
"These recommendations, if enacted, would be the first meaningful action to strengthen California's marine protected area network in its history. Kudos to Governor Newsom and the Ocean Protection Council for responding to the urgent threats facing ocean health and to the calls for conservation from scientists, divers, fishermen, and tens of thousands of Californians from all walks of life."
"We are eager to work with each of the Fish and Game Commissioners, Deputy Secretary Jenn Eckerle, Secretary Wade Crowfoot, CDFW Director Meghan Hertel and all the agency staff to ensure that the Newsom administration's legacy includes protecting California's marine life for future generations, and the next governor can continue the work to protect even more of our oceans' critical habitats."
Azul California Policy Manager Tomas Valadez issued the following statement:
"The future of humanity and that of our ecosystems is intertwined -- which is why California, as a global leader in protecting the critical habitats and life existing in and around our ocean, must follow the science and strengthen our network of marine protected areas.
"Governor Newsom's ocean council recommendations are an important next step to creating the marine protected area network in California that will give our coastal life the best chance of survival in the years to come."

Tribes Celebrate as Michigan Supreme Court Nixes Line 5 Permit
Victory -- Enbridge must re-do its application to build an oil tunnel below the Straits of Mackinac
-
Lansing, MI -- In a major victory for Tribal nations in Michigan, the state's Supreme Court has overturned a key permit that Canadian company Enbridge needs in order to bore a massive four-mile tunnel beneath the Straits of Mackinac to house its Line 5 oil pipeline. The Court's decision sends the permit back to the MichiganPublic Service Commission for a re-do, ruling that the Commission violated the Michigan Environmental Protection Act (MEPA) and its obligations under the public trust doctrine when the Commission approved the tunnel permit in 2023.
"Today is a reminder that when people stand together with courage and conviction, change is possible," said Bay Mills Indian Community President Whitney Gravelle. "For years, Tribal Nations, communities, and thousands of people across the country have raised their voices to protect the Great Lakes. This decision gives us another opportunity to honor our treaty rights, protect our waters, and consider the generations who will inherit this place. The Straits of Mackinac are not simply a route for an oil pipeline to be abused. They are sacred waters, the heart of creation for Anishinaabe people, and a source of life for millions. Some things are simply too sacred to be buried beneath a tunnel. Our work continues, and we remain committed to protecting the Great Lakes for generations to come."
Earthjustice and the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) represented the Bay Mills Indian Community, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, and Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi in challenging the permit. The Michigan Climate Action Network (MiCAN) and the Environmental Law & Policy Center brought additional and separate arguments before the Michigan Supreme Court.
"This ruling is an inspiring victory for Tribes, environmental advocates, and everyday people who've joined hands in the fight to stop the dangerous Line 5 tunnel project," said Earthjustice Senior Attorney Adam Ratchenski. "The Court's decision upholds the bedrock principles of Michigan environmental law. Enbridge's application to build the tunnel now heads back to the Michigan Public Service Commission, where we will be prepared with robust arguments in defense of Tribal rights and the Great Lakes."
Enbridge's proposal to run a hazardous liquids pipeline through a confined underground tunnel has never been attempted anywhere else in the world. It would turn the Straits of Mackinac -- a sacred site of creation for Anishinaabe tribes -- into a construction zone for more than six years.
"Whether Line 5 is suspended in the water or encased in a tunnel, it is simply a terrible idea to pump more than half a million barrels of oil every day through the middle of the Great Lakes," said Managing Attorney David Gover with the Native American Rights Fund (NARF). "There is a brighter future on the horizon. We can get oil out of the Great Lakes, protect Tribal sovereignty, and preserve our freshwater for generations to come."

Court Dismisses Industry Challenge to FERC's Reforms that Will Speed the Connection of Clean Energy
Victory -- The court upheld FERC's interconnection rule, Order No. 2023
-
Washington, D.C. -- Three years ago, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) ordered grid operators and utility companies around the country to speed the connection of new energy sources to the grid. FERC Order No. 2023 demanded that they reform their policies to connect new energy projects to the grid faster,more efficiently, and more transparently. Today, the court issued a ruling upholding FERC's interconnection reforms against a legal challenge from several grid operators and utilities.
FERC's Order No. 2023 sought to modernize outdated processes that had left thousands of gigawatts of power (primarily clean energy such as solar, wind and energy storage) waiting years to connect to the grid.
At the time, roughly 2,600 gigawatts of proposed generating and storage capacity were stuck in interconnection queues. Almost all of the projects -- about 95% -- were solar, wind and energy storage.
"This is a win for ratepayers, competition, and the environment. It will help speed interconnection processes and unlock cheaper, cleaner energy that has been waiting years to connect to the grid," said Earthjustice attorney Alexander Tom, who argued the case before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.
"Since the order was issued three years ago, the need to unlock that abundant power has grown even more pressing. Cleaner, cheaper resources can help combat the worsening climate crisis, curb skyrocketing electricity prices, and maintain reliability. Today's ruling affirms FERC's reforms and holds grid operators and utilities responsible for connecting new energy projects faster. That means investing the resources and latest technology to complete studies on time and deploying advanced transmission technologies that can quickly increase the capacity of the existing grid to bring on new energy."
