For wetlands and Commerce Clause groupies, I have a short piece published in the Environmental Law Institute’s *National Wetlands Newsletter* analyzing the impact of last term’s wetlands-meets-federalism decision, *Rapanos v. United States*, [here](https://www.cato.org/pubs/articles/moller_rapanos-vs-u.s.pdf). While every critic of the case singles out Justice Kennedy for criticism, I aim equal ire at the failings of Chief Justice Roberts’ short, and equally problematic, concurrence.
