Legal experts do agree that there are enough differences between the GE and Sackett cases to explain why the court did not treat them the same. Holly Doremus, an environmental law professor … noted, for example, that the conservative wing of the court has a particular problem with wetlands regulation, which it sees, in her words, as a “breathtaking expansion of federal authority into virtually every corner of the geographic world.” The Superfund law does not attract “the same overt hostility” from those justices, which include the outspoken Antonin Scalia.
