Supreme Court bucks administration on anti-pollution.

Supreme Court bucks administration on anti-pollution.

In a unanimous ruling yesterday, the Supreme Court went against the Bush administration and strengthened the landmark anti-pollution Superfund program, “enabling companies to recover costs when they voluntarily clean up hazardous material.” “The government’s interpretation makes little textual sense,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his opinion.

Supreme Court occasionally does something decent, but most of the time helps the Bush Regime.

Well well well. Another victory for the activist liberal judges.

This is all well and fine, when the reality of this ruling
is that it allows a private company to sue the federal government to recover costs due to incompetency, incurred in the process of fulfilling a government contract.
Activist corporate judges, more likely.
