"The Supreme Court returns from its summer recess today with a U.S. EPA air pollution case already on its calendar and several other environmental issues potentially on the horizon."
"Operating as usual during the government shutdown at least through Friday, the court will settle in tomorrow with arguments in a high-profile campaign finance case involving a coal executive whom environmentalists have sharply criticized.
Later in the term, the justices will consider EPA's program for addressing pollution that drifts across state lines, the president's recess appointment authority and a property rights case challenging the Forest Service's rails-to-trails program in Wyoming."
