Supreme Court Delivers Unanimous Decision On Guam's Bid To Get Payments From U.S. For Hazardous Dumping

Conservative Brief ^ | 5/24 | Martin Walsh

[Seruzawa]

The short answer: Monday’s ruling said Guam can pursue U.S. payments under the hazardous waste law.

[donozark]

Agent Orange.

[Renfrew]

Seems fair. If the federal government dumped a bunch of waste in my state I would expect them to pay for the clean-up.

[dsrtsage]

Toxic chemicals eating away at the foundation of the island under the sea is why it tipped over in the first place

[upchuck]

What’s his face must be smiling.

[gunnut]

The US government sued Guam over pollution. They are now suing back saying the US government was partially responsible for that same pollution.

[ConservativeMind]

Good for the Supreme Court!

That and too many people.

You mean the law ought to be applied as it is written and not how some judge wishes it were written?

Shocking, positively shocking.

[shotgun]

Does this mean that Colorado can sue the EPA for draining that abandoned mine and polluting the Colorado river a few year ago?

[SuperLuminal]

They had to dump it into the ocean to keep Guam from tipping over...
That would have been a disaster for millions of brown snakes...

[Fireone]

” $160 million settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “
Thus, I’d say we’re throwing around the word “settlement” a little loosely, as it’s obviously not settled.

[Sacajaweau]

You mean when the river turned to “gold”.

[VTenigma]

LOL, never say die.

[tsomer]

BSM!

[crz]

One would hope so. That scum is now in Lake Mead according to people I have talked to. Although it is minute amounts.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

It was the Spam all along....

[Magnum44]

If they all wouldnt run to one side at the same time it wouldnt be a problem...
