District Court to Decide Whether Antiquities Designations Are Final

摘要

Federal courts are awash in lawsuits arising out of President Trump's efforts to reverse almost every environmental initiative of his predecessor. Five lawsuits arise under one of the nation's oldest environmental statutes -the 1906 Antiquities Act. The cases, now consolidated in federal district court in Washington, D.C., challenge Trumps decision to reduce the size of two national monuments in Utah, one created by President Obama and one by President Clinton.
