What''s bad policy is letting these oil conglomerates merge together & reduce competition, which keeps prices up and lessens the need for innovation.

Just remember, after November our country will be under new management. (Hold that thought, Scallia).

You are correct but the sad part is you still need 2/3 majorities to remove anyone. Unless you can hold a monkey trail and send them to prison.

Oh wait the GOP did that with the ex-governor from Alabama. Don''t worry GOP we may have that 2/3 majority soon if you keep up the good work.

I would recommend that anyone in alaska who does not get what they were origianlly promised go and damage Exxon property. We have seen how effective blowing up a pipeline can be. If your govt'' won''t fight for you you have to fight yourself

You idiotic leftist sheep. All you can do is find some way to blame everything on Bush. Well, guess what. This has nothing to do with Bush. Sorry to burst your bubble but its the truth. You can make all these ridiculous claims about the Supreme Court being paid off, feeling beholden to Bush etc., but its all smoke and you dam well know it. I sure don''''t see any Democrats standing up and pressing the issue forward. Why are they so silent? One day you will wake up(hopefully after you have matured a bit) and realize that all the time you spent bashing Bush for things he has no hand in at all was simply that much of your life you wasted. Way to go losers!

Are you so narrow-minded that you think Supreme Court justices are at the beck & call of the President who nominated them? These people are called "conservative" or "liberal" for their SOCIAL ideologies (i.e. abortion, civil rights, etc.) NOT because they are owned by the President.

Your mistake is they are chosen by the President because they hold his political belief and if that belief is one that business should not pay for any damages then that is why they got chosen.

But the good will be that the people in Alaska may move away from the wacko conservatives they helped put into office. Too bad it takes destruction of their enviornment for them to see it.

I wonder how many posters here buy gas from Exxon or one of their distributors.

Looks like the oil compnay gets away with murder again, they have this country in the hole and they have congress/senate/courst in their pockets. They will never own up to the strangle hold they have because it''s all baout money, it the governmnet wasn''t in their pockets, the oil companies won''t be running this country in to the hole. STOP THE OIL/GAS companies and this country would be safe and the average American would have money in the banks too.
So until we stop the oil/gas companies and the insurance companies, we as Americans will never be free from debt.

"I doubt that a justice who was appointed by Bush was appointed for any other reason then their slavish loyalty to Bush/Cheney."
