Almost all waters are “literally connected to each other” in a manner that’s clearly beyond anything Congress intended to regulate when they revised the CWA.
It’s just a matter of how intimately connected.

I think it should be clear by now that the textualists are only interested in text that suits their interests (e.g. the first clause of the second amendment is just flavor text since 2013).
To be clear: I'm talking about their redefinition of the word "adjacent". Forgive me if I'm not following the thread correctly here. Justice Alito seems to think adjacent means "navigable waters" instead of "these waters are literally connected to each other even if not above ground".
