Tyrannosaurus on crack.

Tyrannosaurus is indeed the appropriate move. All I had for that decision was profanity, not eloquence.

I deleted my initial string profanity...

I saw about that ruling in the nows, not at all impressed. (to put it very politely)

Yes, the above post was greatly edited for profanity before I put it up.

Are they idiots? They do realise that this will further lead to a more corporate dominated world with fewer environmental regulations and relaxed workers rights? Hello distopian cyperpunk-like future...

I think they do realise that, and that's why the Bush-appointed supreme court justices voted that way. Environmental regulations are seen as nothing but impediments by them. Bush accomplished his final coup without firing a shot, without extending the 8-year presidential term limit, and with hardly anyone knowing this measure was being voted on. Finely executed piece of work.

I'm not sure which is more scary, that they very likely know what they are doing, or that they are (not likely) naive enough to see the negative ramifications of their actions.
