The Supreme Court gave an Idaho couple another chance Wednesday to challenge a government ruling barring construction of their "dream house," an important property rights defeat for the Obama administration.

The justices unanimously ruled Chantell and Mike Sackett can appeal a compliance order that said wetlands on their residential lot were improperly filled with rocks and dirt. A building permit was then revoked. ...

"The Supreme Court has come to our rescue," Mike Sackett said just after the decision was issued, "and reminded the EPA — and everyone — that this is still America, and Americans still have rights under the Constitution."
