I want the Democratic Senators who voted to confirm President George W. Bush’s nominations of the Washington, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge John Roberts and that of the Philadelphia Cirucit Court of Appeals Sam Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court to read today’s High Court decision on the issue of campaign financing, published in today’s edition of The New York Times.
I’m once again ashamed of the Supreme Court and of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals of Philadelphia.
The Washington, D.C., Court of Appeals, the court system from which President George W. Bush catapulted John Roberts into the seat of Rehnquest as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, has struck agains.
Yesterday it ruled that the Securities and Exchange Commission has no authority to regulate hedge funds, as reported in yesterday’s and again in today’s editions of The New York Times.

The IESI landfill in Lower Saucon Township is well down the road in obtaining all the approvals needed to build a methane-to-energy plant on the landfill site, as reported in today’s edition of The Express-Times.
The plant would convert the methan gas prodeced by the landfill’s rotting garbage.
This whole history of this project is as rotten as that of - well, rotting garbage, or of limburger cheese. It is the next landfill methane-to-energy facility planned after the one, up and operating, on the site of the Waste-Management/Grand Central Sanitary Landfill located in Plainfield Township, but using neighboring Pen Argyl Borough’s waste-water plant for the disposal and “treatment” of landfill leachate.
“According to an extensive Associated Press report Friday, Mr [Tom] Ridge stayed overnight twice at the Arizona home of long-time friend David Girard-diCarlo just as Homeland Security was starting up. Mr. Ridge and Mr. Girard-diCarlo had worked together in Pennsylvania to raise more than $400,000 for the Bush-Cheney campaign in 1999 and 2000. Earlier, Mr. Girard-diCarlo had helped Mr. Ridge raise money as Pennsylvania governor,” according to the lead editorial published in the January 18, 2005, edition of The Morning Call.
“Mr. diCarlo is chairman of of Blank Rome, a lobbying firm that has agressively expanded its homeland security business. Mr. DiCarlo lobbied Mr. Ridge’s department on behalf of 29 companies, three non-profit groups and a trade association for the software industry. It hired two of Mr. Ridge’s aides to lobby Homeland Security; some of its clients secured major contracts.
In the closing lines of his article titled “Karl Rove Beats the Democrats Again, published in today’s edition of The New York Times, columist Frank Rich writes:
“But as long as the Democrats keep repeating their own mistakes, they will lose to the party whose mistakes are, if nothing else, packaged as one heckuvu show. It’s better to have the courage of bad convictions than no courage or convictions at all.”
I am interrupting my running comments on the Phillipsburg, New Jersey, Railroad and Transportation Museum and returning to a separate post.
My reason for this is to provide a link to an Associated Press article titled “Court Split Over Wetlands Protections,” published in today’s edition of The New York Times.
I have the answers to the questions posed in today’s edition of The Express-Times editorial regarding Phillipsburg, New Jersey’s Railroad and Transporation museum, “Would anyone in a position of authority care to revisit Phillipsburg’s claim to its own heritage before the train pulls out for the last time, moving down the old Morris Canal footprint to the suburbs?”
And “Isn’t there one last tool to be heard to preserve Phillipsburg’s birthright?”
I’ve no doubt that Commerce Center Boulevard built for Majestic Realty of Los Angles, California, across the former Bethlehem Steel property was paid for by Northampton County’s taxpayers.
But the first demand on the $13.1 million cost of the road project, included in the 2001 $111 million omnius bond issue, was imposed by the Internal Revenue Serive (IRS).
