"Sandra O'Connor should be kicked off of the Supreme Court for her action in the Presidential contest, but in this case she voted with the other 3 dissenting. The others who voted for the Atwater woman and the fourth amendment were Stevens, Ginsburg, and Breyer."

Just finished reading about it. I was surprised that she didn't vote with the conservative crowd.

It has been rumored that she wants to resign. Her husband is not in very good health, but she didn't
want to resign b4 Bush became President.

Still, the Supreme Court's decision in this case is outrageous! Bush along with The Supreme Court
nibble away at what we have known as Democracy. Unfortunately, many minorities, especially
black Americans, have never shared our experiences.

Robert Redford is urging his fellow environmentalists to speak out against President Bush
and his un-green policies.
On behalf of the Natural Resources Defense Council, the 64-year-old
movie star has penned a call-to-arms letter decrying the White House's plan to drill for oil in
Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and thus, he says, turn it into "one more industrial
wasteland."

Now it's Bush who's getting hammered for slicing out $15.7 million from a child abuse program, a $1 million environmental study in Nevada, millions in bridge building in Indiana and assistance to state police to fight methamphetamine traffic.

Norton Preparing to Shelve Grizzly Plan

"Dirk Kempthorne of Idaho, a Republican who sued to
stop the plan two days before President Bush took office, and denounced
the Clinton administration for trying to force "massive, flesh-eating carnivores into Idaho."


Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton is preparing to shelve the Clinton administration's plan
to reintroduce grizzly bears into the Idaho and Montana wilderness, deferring to state officials
who have battled furiously to keep America's largest predators away from their rural communities,
sources say.

This policy shift on one of the West's most contentious issues reflects Norton's determination
to cooperate with governors such as Dirk Kempthorne of Idaho, a Republican who sued to
stop the plan two days before President Bush took office, and denounced
the Clinton administration for trying to force "massive, flesh-eating carnivores into Idaho."

But conservationists who have decried Norton's support for oil exploration
n the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge have viewed the grizzlies as an early test of her
commitment to protecting rare species in the face of political pressure. Her inclination to
abandon the Clinton administration's efforts to expand the bear's range another 4 million acres
was applauded by states-rights and property-rights advocates, but not by environmental groups.
