The author comments on the U.S. Supreme Court case Sackett v. EPA, which deals on the alleged violation of the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Topics discussed include the CERCLA's non-reviewable Unilateral Administrative Orders (UAOs), the coercive enforcement of the CERCLA among businesses and individuals, and the aspects of due process rights under the U.S. Fifth Amendment.
