If we pretend the Supreme Court is partisan, which it is not but let's entertain that thought here, then the decision was bipartisan. Both the Left and the Right judged that the EPA was overstepping its authority.[1]

>The court voted unanimously to reverse the Ninth Circuit, but split 5–4 on the rationale. The majority opinion, by Alito, introduced a new test to define wetlands, which reversed five decades of EPA rule-making and limited the scope of the Clean Water Act's authority to regulate waters of the United States. Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the three liberal justices in agreeing that the CWA did not apply to the Sacketts' property, but argued that the majority's new definition was incorrect and will have significant effects on regulated waters.

> If we pretend the Supreme Court is partisan, which it is not but let's entertain that thought here.. I mean, that’s laughable, I don’t know how anyone can call the current Court non-partisan with a straight face. That doesn’t mean every decision is necessarily partisan, but multiple decisions over the past few years have been blatantly partisan, with Thomas and Alito especially making very little effort, if any, to hide it. I used to feel that the Supreme Court was the one of the few non-partisan institutions in our government, but the way this Court has run roughshod over stare decisis to effect change in the interests of its majority was more than enough to disabuse me of that notion. Everyone loves when decisions are going their way, consequences be damned, but the way those decisions get made matters, and nobody should be happy with the way the current court is choosing to act. It has set a really bad precedent for future courts, and has already done immense damage to its reputation in the eyes of many.
