A ruling in favor of the fisherman could completely change the way the federal government operates, one expert says.
For nearly 50 years, America's herring fishermen have been required to take federal monitors on their boats when they set out into the North Atlantic.But now there's a catch.
This fall, Axelsson, Bright and half a dozen other fishermen -- who say the added expense could drive some out of business -- will take their crusade against the policy to the U.S. Supreme Court."This case is going to completely change the way the federal government operates if the Supreme Court decides to change the status quo," said Meredith Moore, director of the fish conservation program at Ocean Conservancy and member of the nation's Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee.
"This is about gray areas, but the problem is, once you say that there are gray areas and then there's a different rule, people start seeing gray everywhere," Clement said. "If the agency really wants this authority, they should go back to Congress and get it." "What we could lose with this case is the grounding of our government in expertise and science in the way that we interpret laws all over the country," said Moore.
