ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gade v. National Solid Wastes Management Association

So, there's this thing called a Supreme Court. They're like the boss of all the courts in the United States. And sometimes, they have to decide if a law is fair or if it goes against our Constitution.

In this case, there were some people who owned a landfill. That's a place where people can throw away their trash. But the government made a law that said they couldn't have this landfill anymore because it was too close to some other stuff.

The people who owned the landfill didn't like this law, so they took it to court. They argued that the law wasn't fair and that it went against their rights as Americans.

The Supreme Court had to decide if the law was okay or not. And they said that the government could make this law. They said that the law was important for keeping people safe and protecting the environment.

So, in the end, the people who owned the landfill had to close it down. And the government could keep making laws to help keep everyone safe and healthy.
