krg12171936 - LOL - yeah that's right - it's a terrible conspiracy by scientists and doctors working with the government against you having a Hummer in your driveway!!! what is it with you lot?? Do you actually believe that all the junk that comes from oil and gas and plastic is GOOD for the earth -- are you really this stupid or is your head to buried to see daylight??

This should have been a no-brainer ... a 9 - 0 vote.

Instead, it is obvious that we have 4 judges that have no brains.

At least Al Gore has evened his record with the supreme court and is now batting .500 ....

[krg12171936]

I think the whole business of global warming is a big bunch of bunk.
It's just another example of Govt. telling the american people what they can't do.
As for the Supreme Court it should be done away with.
A few making rediculous laws for the majority.

[egresor]

the reason bush doesn't want to do anything about greenhouse gases isn't only for the oil industry.

bush had some big monsy backers from the coal industry too and guess who plans to build (along with china and india) something like 800 new coal fired power plants?

why did bush appoint people like think tank lobbyists to the epa. that applies across the board too. bush mainly appointed to departmental regulatory positions the exact people who used to be regulated by them and supported either deregulating them or severely softening them.

why did they get a delay on enforcing mercury levels in the air til 2016? not to mention not even acknowledging some very nasty pollutants being exposed to your kids? but of course bush is the guy who came up with the 'clear skies' iniative. promising cleaner air, but in effect it's just another ploy.

the environment always suffers under republicans. look what reagan did with his special panel chaired by his VP. it's sole purpose was to enable business to bypass and ignore environmental regulations and laws.

We all (Every last one of us) better pray that the next two years go by quickly without serious incident. Personally, I have my doubts.

[harp1963]

If America can't see that the oil industry is controlling our President after this one, then you all are blind.

Global warming is a serious problem. The level of CO2 continues to rise year after year. The level of CO2 has been correlated to global average temperatures reasonably well over the last 600,000 years. Global warming has been correlated to periodic mass extinctions over the eons on earth. The CO2 in these cases was provided by natural processes such as volcanic activity. It appeared to me that Al Gore greatly down-played the consequences of global warming because he wanted to provide a message of hope rather than hysteria. Some initial features of the extinction process have began to appear. The decreasing quality of our environment and the impending mass death of our descendants (if don't get emissions down) is an existence issue not a liberal issue. Of course, for religious conservatives, heaven is a better place anyway...oops! We found Jesus bones. What does that tell you about resurrection and heaven?

"The court's four conservative justices %u2014 Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas %u2014 dissented."

These four are outrageous! Venal and brain-dead. At least GW has to leave in two years. We're stuck with these political hacks for a long time.

[l8c6]

The four right wing appointed justices dissented. No true blue american can rest in complacency. The forces claiming love of the flag will continue to assault through deception. Something to read and think about-----http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0530-20.htm

George W.Trashcan deserved to be rebuked by the Supreme Court just as the American voters rebuked the Trashcan(Republician) party at the last election.

Not surprising that slim Bushy is trying to protect his corporate buddies by refusing to enact pollution controls, but it is a shame four U.S. justices side with corruption instead of standing up for the people they are supposed to protect. Lifetime supreme court appointments are certainly one major flaw left by our founding fathers. The people ought to be able to vote out these losers just like the deadbeats in congress. Where's the logic in "balance of power" when justices are sewn up in a political party's pocket?

[fizzal-2009]

Some say the fire gets hotter just before it goes out. If the sun does go out I,d bet you all would be burning coal along with the livingroom furniture too keep warm.

dlprace:


There are so many bad state actors out there - presently Sudan, Burma, North Korea, in the past Chile, Cuba, etc. and we never went to war with any of them. The only reason we really went into Iraq was because Bush wanted to be a war leader. With 19 separate intelligence agencies at his command, how could a President of the US NOT know that most of the justifications he cited were false before he made them?

Just my statement. I'm not inviting a debate. My comments are for the other people reading the board, you personally are unreachable by logic.

[dlpracer]

mh4cbs1,

Lies?? Name one and back it up.

Here is what Secretary of State Albright said in a speech March 1997, well before the evil GWB got into office:

Consider that, under Saddam Hussein, Iraq has started two major wars, used poison gas and committed gross violations of international humanitarian law.

Consider that Iraq admitted producing chemical and biological warfare agents before the Gulf War that were sufficiently lethal to kill every man, woman and child on earth.

Consider that Iraq has yet to provide convincing evidence that it has destroyed all of these weapons.

Consider that Iraq admitted loading many of those agents into missile warheads before the war.

Consider that Iraq retains more than 7500 nuclear scientists and technicians, as well as technical documents related to the production of nuclear weapons.

Consider that Iraq has been caught trying to smuggle in missile guidance instruments.

And consider that, according to Ambassador Ekeus, UNSCOM has not been able to account for all the missiles Iraq acquired over the years. In fact, Ekeus believes it is highly likely that Iraq retains an operational SCUD missile force, probably with chemical or biological weapons to go with it.

Oops...dang facts getting in the way again. So who's lying?

Good Luck

[stezzer]

Is it me, or have most people on here been sniffing exhaust fumes?

Anyway, I love you America. Please don't go all wobbly like us Brits.

Goodnight chaps and ladies.

[iambaker]

Hmm...no mention on CBSNews.com of the Court supporting Bush administration's stance on detainees. So, does CBS intentionally make Bush getting slammed headline news while purposely failing to mention his victories? Hmm...this is curious.

I only read CBSNews.com because I can post here from time to time. Other than this feature, this outlet has no use to me.

Sir, learn to spell. You are an embarrassment to your teachers.

Dear me old chap, now come on. If you're going to argue at least make you comments coherent.

With that sort of thinking, if general throughout Britain, then it is obvious why you lost your Empire.

Defeatist attitudes are certainly those of the defeated.

You are a shame to your forebears.

[stezzer]

America, we Brits have lost our empire. You are the greatest nation on earth, don't sacrifice your greatness at the altar of political correctness.

The green lobby want to destroy you, surely you can see that?

Keep driving your vehicles, and don't tolerate paying $8.00 a gallon for fuel at the pumps, like us Brits.
