This was a 9-0 decision on the core holding that the Idaho landowners didn't violate the act. There was then a split plurality for deciding what the ongoing standard is, but all 9 agreed that the current definition is unworkable. This wasn't a "conservative" decision, it was a recognition that the CWA is indefinite on the term wetlands and that the definition that the EPA has been using is not in conformity with the constitution or the enabling legislation.
