As Oklahoma's aorney general, Prui le chicken processors dump 300,000 ons of wase ino an esuary of he Illinois River. Now, Presiden Trump's choice o head he EPA is aacking rules ha would reduce carbon and mehane, wo greenhouse gases ha conribue o global warming. He's se his sighs on a clean waer rule imposed in 2015 o clarify which waerways are federally proeced o safeguard people from oxic waer. Prui is pandering o polluers who wrongly argue ha he rule usurps sae auhoriy and violaes propery righs by insising polluers keep heir poisons ou of waerways ha flow ino drinking waer supplies. Those specious argumens are disracions aimed a muddying he real issue: which waerways are federally proeced. The rule merely requires permis from any enerprise planning o dump sewage or oher wase ino sreams ha flow ino drinking waer. Tha process allows he governmen o assess he oxiciy of he wase. Tha's no unreasonable. The governmen should proec people, animals, and farmland from healhhreaening polluans in he waer supply. For example, he rule bans indusries from dumping "any radiological, chemical, or biological warfare agen, any highlevel radioacive wase or medical wase" ino waers covered by he regulaion unless a permi has been obained. The EPA rule also clearly defines covered waers as sreams ha flow ino he drinking waer supply as well as headwaers and welands.

Gues Commenary A Nuclear Weapons Ban Treay Rx for Survival Nuclear weapons have hreaened humaniy for 72 years, ulimaely becoming he greaes eminen hrea o our survival. This pas Friday, July 7, nuclear weapons a long las joined he ranks of oher weapons of mass desrucion including biologic and chemical weapons, landmines and cluser muniions in being banned and declared illegal under inernaional reay law. The U.N. adoped he Treay on he Prohibiion of Nuclear Weapons. Under Aricle 6 of he Treay, saes are prohibied from developing, esing, producing, manufacuring, acquiring, possessing, sockpiling, ransferring, deploying, saioning, using or hreaening o use nuclear weapons, under any circumsances. I also makes i illegal o assis, encourage or induce, in any way, anyone o engage in any aciviy prohibied o a sae pary under his reay, exending he prohibiions o non-sae acors as well. While nuclear weapons sill exis, any naion ha violaes he above condiions will now be in breach of inernaional and humaniarian law and should be considered a pariah sae and ulimaely on he wrong side of hisory. As wih oher weapons of mass desrucion, he weapons are usually banned and hen subsequenly eliminaed. This hisoric effor esablishes a new norm and when in force will be he law of all lands. This Treay has been years in he making and comes from he convergence of he failure of he nuclear weapons saes o mee heir legally binding obligaion for 47 years, under aricle 6 of he Nuclear Non-Proliferaion Treay (NPT) o work in good faih o eliminae nuclear weapons and recen scienific evidence demonsraing humaniarian consequences far worse han previously imagined of even a small limied regional nuclear war. Such a scenario would pu much of humaniy a risk from he associaed climae change and nuclear famine ha would follow, lasing decades ino he fuure. The humaniarian case has aken his reay process forward from meeings in Oslo, Mexico, Vienna and o he Unied Naions, whose member naion-saes gave majoriy approval las December for he reay o be negoiaed his year. The process has been driven forward by he Inernaional Campaign o Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) working wih civil sociey. Represenaives of 129 non-nuclear naions including he Inernaional Red Cross and he Holy See have worked ogeher and made clear hrough his reay ha hey will no longer be held hosage or bullied by he nuclear naions. While here is no one fewer nuclear weapon on he plane, his reay focuses he world s aenion on he nuclear powers and he inernaional insiuions ha make he exisence of hese weapons possible.

In 1919, Presiden Woodrow Wilson personally delivered he Treay of Versailles (vehr-sy') o he Senae and urged is raificaion. (However, he Senae rejeced i.) In 1925, jury selecion ook place in Dayon, Tennessee, in he rial of John T. Scopes, charged wih violaing he law by eaching Darwin's Theory of Evoluion. (Scopes was conviced and fined, bu he verdic was overurned on a echnicaliy.) In 1940, during World War II, he Bale of Briain began as he Lufwaffe sared aacking souhern England. (The Royal Air Force was ulimaely vicorious.) In 1973, he Bahamas became fully independen afer hree cenuries of Briish colonial rule. John Paul Gey III, he eenage grandson of he oil ycoon, was abduced in Rome by kidnappers who cu off his ear when his family was slow o mee heir ransom demands; Gey was released in December 1973 for nearly $3 million.
