Coal exports: The attorneys general of Wyoming and Montana have asked the high court to intervene in their dispute with the state of Washington over the Millennium Bulk Terminals facility along the Columbia River, which Washington state blocked by denying a key Clean Water Act permit in 2017, citing concerns about water quality damage, and other environmental and social impacts.

Wyoming and Montana argue that Washington's decision violated the commerce clause of the Constitution. A lower court has already rejected similar claims brought by coal company Lighthouse Resources and railroad BNSF, but the states cite original jurisdiction to take the case directly to the Supreme Court. 5-4
