Anyone who thinks dousing our waterways or landscapes with such toxic pollution deserves to have his or her head examined -- even if that head is perched on the neck of a Supreme Court Justice. In a ruling decried by environmentalists, public health officials, and fishermen in Alaska, the Court voted 6-3 Lake to allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers -- the same folks who built the failed levee system in New Orleans, ahem -- to permit Coeur Alaska to dump its tainted slurry into Lower Slate Lake.
