In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has given Lower Slate Lake in the Tongass National Forest of Alaska, a death sentence. The ruling overturns a 9th District Court decision that revoked the permit issued by the Army Corps of Engineers that allowed Coeur Alaska’s Kensington gold mine to dump its mine tailings directly into the lake, killing all aquatic life in it. The Clean Water Act clearly states that you can’t dump mine waste into a water body, but the Corp of Engineers cleverly changed the name “waste” to “fill” and permitted the action, essentially killing the lake.
I find this decision appalling and in defiance of logic. Where is the justice in a decision like this. Are the 370 well paying jobs that this mining operation is creating worth the environmental destruction that it creates? I don’t think so.

Only a few years ago he was at an interview and was chuckling about a woman’s imminent killing on death row. Bush has the govenor’s of Texas record of death row killings and now he’s taking this to the presidency.
VANCOUVER (CBC) – U.S. President George W. Bush became the first American president in 51 years to approve the execution of a soldier on Monday.
Administration officials said Bush signed the paperwork approving the military’s request to execute an army private who has been on death row since 1988, the Associated Press reported……..
SORRY bUSTER — I gave you no thumbs either down or up.
I agree. He should be put to death. But that wasn’t the question. You must, also, remember that the death penalty in most forward thing developed countries is considered barbaric. I can see their point.
The man killed 4 people and raped 8 others
He should have died years ago
He is a disgrace to the military
