...topping Chevron's offer, the action quickly shifted to Washington. There, egged on by Chevron's lobbyists, Congress raised a series of objections to the deal, particularly noting supposed security risks for the U.S. in a CNOOC-Unocal marriage. Most energy experts believe that the risks either didn't exist, or could easily have been dealt with. "There are no security issues?none," oil consultant Philip Verleger said earlier this summer.

America's Founding Fathers gave Supreme Court Justices lifetime appointments, not foreseeing the deeply acrimonious partisanship that would exist in today's politics. The majority of Americans support Roe v. Wade, the court decision that legalized abortion, and we don't need Bush's circumventing the public's will through his selection of a Supreme Court Justice.
