The Bush rule is that "wetlands will keep their federal protection"
The Obama rule is "farms near those wetlands cannot do bad thing to the wetlands"
By repealing the Obama rule, they are inherently repealing the Bush one.
- trothamel 8y agoIsn't the flaw with this that the two rules use a different definition for wetlands?
- mc32 8y agoSure, but that is not the same as the tacit claim "They’re definitely rolling things back to the pre-George H.W. Bush era".
- addicted 8y agoExcept that comment is likely referencing the regulatory environment, for which it is correct to state that the regulations are being rolled back to what they were before HW’s changes in this area.
- masonic 8y agoNo, you can't know that. The Trump rule, when it comes, doesn't have to correspond to any prior content. Note that the Times never criticized the existing rule until after Obama changed it late in his tenure, giving him political cover.
