Federal protection of the environment must hew to the same constitutional bounds as any other federal actions. In the past decade, the Supreme Court has invigorated several of these bounds in ways that present new challenges to congressional drafters of environmental statutes. This book reviews five of these newly emergent constitutional areas. Namely, the Commerce Clause, the restriction of standing to sue in the federal courts, the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment, the Tenth Amendment and the Eleventh Amendment. Lastly, the book sketches two constitutional doctrines that, while recently active, have not received Supreme court resuscitation.Meltz, Robert is the author of 'Constitutional Bounds on Congress' Ability to Protect the Environment' with ISBN 9781590337257 and ISBN 1590337255.
