Nightly Nuance - SCOTUS on Environmental Cleanup

Ok, friends. This one is hard. It is like what would happen if legal issues were in a Sudoku puzzle that used 1-75 instead of 1-9. 

But we do hard things here in the Nightly Nuance Family. We got this together. Send me your questions. Send me your thoughts. We can do it. 

Here's our breakdown from the Court: 

Chief Justice Roberts writes the majority opinion. Parts I and IIA are UNANIMOUS (Hallelujah and amen). Part IIB we have everyone on board but Alito (SPOILER: I THINK ALITO IS CORRECT ON THIS ONE IN SOME WAYS). In Part III, we have everyone except Alito, Gorsuch and Thomas. Alito writes a concurring in part/dissenting in part opinion. Gorsuch, joined by Thomas, does the same. 

Buckle up for some hardcore and assumption-bendy federalism.
