Ask your questions to an expert re: Supreme Court ruling on mining waste in lakes

leahl
You expressed shock, we will hopefully provide more answers and insight into the situation. We've gone to Doug Kendall, President of the Constitutional Accountability Center
http://theusconstitution.org/ who will answer your questions on Monday.

Excerpt from the article:
"In a ruling that will shock and dismay environmentalists everywhere, the US Supreme Court decided that the Clean Water Act shouldn't prevent mining companies from dumping their toxic waste into lakes--even with full knowledge that doing so will exterminate every trace of life within."

    • I wonder how Sonia Sotomayor would vote...

      If she gets on, then six out of nine supreme court justices would be catholics I believe... A little slanted. If not right away, she may grow into a more conservative point of view...something to think about...

    • The vote:

      Joining Kennedy in approving the disposal plan were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito Jr.
      In addition to Ginsburg, dissenting were Justices John Paul Stevens and David Souter.

    • The defense of this is because it's "the easiest way?"

      Well it would be easier for me to park in a handicap zone, or take a leak where ever I wanted, or to rob a bank because it's easier than working.

      Does that make anything legal because it's easier?

      HELL NO!

      Is the Supreme Court so supreme it can work it's way around a law called "The Clean Water Act?"

      Is this blind justice, or Corporate Justice?

      WTF
