PhillipLiberal How do you think Gorsuch and kavznaugh will vote?

altUSEPA via UCSUSA

altUSEPA If you dump chemicals into the ground it goes into the ground water, very simple.

altUSEPA How is this even debate?

altUSEPA How is this even a question

altUSEPA If it does, it does. Contamination is contamination. What they are REALLY deciding is whether to let businesses poison our water or not.

altUSEPA I can't see how it doesn't, but we've got some activist judges who really don't pay attention to the laws or Constitution at all.

altUSEPA And they’ll decide it doesn’t because… Koch brothers

altUSEPA If you don't want companies to be able to poison your air, water & soil in order to increase their profit margins ... ... don't vote Republican!

altUSEPA Duh yes!

altUSEPA Simple answer, yes it does

altUSEPA I wonder what they’ll decide.

It does.

Well if conservatives dominate the SCOTUS, the decision will be nefarious to the environment

Why don’t you put 1 bil. On water so next generations of Americans can hv drinl water rather than 7.8 bil in a joke of a wsll, Mr. Nationalist?

alaskawater That clear violation went to the highest court in the land? WTF are TPTB doing to America's state of mind...are they trying to drive us more insane than we already are?

Huge “thanks” to ElectoralCollege for enabling 2 GOP candidates who LOST popular vote to become president & stack SCOTUS w 4 of their justices. Trump prays for RBG demise to insert a 5th. Now clean water, key issues depend on them: pawns of profit, debtors to the greedy.

CONTAMINATED. Says it all.

So if the Clean Water Act isn't violated by contaminated groundwater, it means that Lake Worth can be similarly contaminated.

Well duh! I worked in environmental chemistry and know how much a threat our groundwater is under.

Have them drink the water in Detroit City!..

Will this decision be grounded in scientific fact, or are decisions from now on purely political payback to the donors and Trump who installed Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on SCOTUS?

This is ridiculous for SCOTUS to accept this case when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth & Fourth Circuits ruled that Hawaii's Maui County violated the law by injecting treated sewage from a wastewater treatment plant into the groundwater, also enters the Pacific Ocean.

And these men have grandchildren! They are ruining their futures along with the rest of humanity

Uh it does on its face. Hell, it’s in the name!

Easy answer: YES!

Yes .. of course it does

We need the Supreme Court to decide whether contamination is ok or not What a sad state of affairs in the USA.

Prediction Based On Recent Events: It does not. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to openly say so, but I don't have high hopes :(

Hemet, CA has high nitrates a class action could possibly get the city to pay for new water heaters This issue is real. I know HI marine biologists who were part of Nx markers studies that traced the injection well flow that caused harm to reefs. Old Colonial oligarchy thrives in HI. This is really getting to the crux of the matter.
