In the injunction, U.S. District Judge Daniel L. Hovland ruled that the new rule presented a danger to the plaintiff states\u2019 sovereignty and was tantamount to \u201cirreparable harm\u201d. <\/p>\n<p> Judge Hovland wrote, \u201cOne of the purposes of a preliminary injunction is to preserve the status quo\u2026The ripple effects caused by the 2023 Rule strongly favor maintaining the status quo for now.\u2026 The Court finds that a far broader segment of the public would benefit from a preliminary injunction because it would ensure that federal agencies do not extend their power beyond the express delegation from Congress.\u201d The judge also noted that since a similar case is pending before the Supreme Court, it was logical to wait for the High Court\u2019s ruling. <\/p>\n<p> West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey, who led the states\u2019 challenge to the rule, hailed Judge Hovland\u2019s decision as a victory for states\u2019 rights. \u201cThis is a victory for the states because this rule, if allowed to be implemented, will upset the balance of power between the states and the federal government without clear statement from Congress\u2026It creates unneeded delays and costs for farmers, contractors, ranchers, and anyone who cares about economic activity\u2026This rule would harm jobs and economic growth by taking jurisdiction from states and asserting federal authority over nearly any body of water, including roadside ditches, short-lived streams, and many other areas where water may flow only once every 100 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Aside from West Virginia, the other states who challenged the rule were Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal judge in North Dakota has temporarily blocked the implementation of the Biden administration\u2019s controversial \u201cWaters of the United States\u201d (WOTUS) rule, granting the request of a coalition of 24 states and more than a dozen industry groups.
