摘要

In Wisconsin v. EPA, the federal government took regulatory powers out of the hands of Wisconsin and gave these powers to the Mole Lake Band. This action should have been held impermissible under the Constitution of the United States and under the court's precedent on this issue. First, the court's application of the Equal Footing Doctrine to Indian tribes is an unconstitutional stretch of the federal government's power. The Commerce Clause gives the federal government the right to regulate the country's navigable waterways, however, it does not give it the power to allocate these duties to sovereign bodies other than states. Also, the Seventh Circuit extends the precedent set forth in Montana without giving a reasonable explanation for doing so. Montana allowed Indian tribes to regulate activities on their reservation that reasonably could affect the welfare of the tribe, but did not allow tribes to regulate off-reservation activities. Wisconsin v. EPA extends this regulatory power to off-reservation activities that may affect the welfare of the tribe, and does so with little thought to the ramifications of such a decision. With TAS status, tribes may be able to block proposed industry in their home state, which could slow progress in economic and social welfare. Indian tribes now may hold a significant regulatory function of the states, with few of the responsibilities that come with this power. The court's decision in Wisconsin v. EPA has spawned several predictions concerning the case's ramifications. Obviously, it is highly likely that the number of TAS applications will increase in light of the relatively simple "inherent authority" test set out in Montana and adopted in Wisconsin v. EPA. To prove inherent authority under the test, a tribe must only show the EPA that there are navigable waters on their reservation, that these watersheds benefit the tribe, and that harm to the water would have a "serious and substantial effect on the health and welfare of the tribe." The court's decision also seems to have nearly eliminated a state's ability to oppose a TAS application, and at least one commentator feels that a state's ability to overturn a TAS status grant has been nearly eliminated. This result undermines the sovereignty of the fifty states and could pose a threat to each state's individual development.
