NO MORE TRUST!

It was with great sadness that I read of this decision. I'm grateful that at least 3 members of this ONCE most esteemed judicial panel disagreed. However, majority carries the vote. After the Supreme Court's decision in the Kelo v. City of New London eminent domain issue I felt the time had come for term limits on this court. This only solidifies my convictions. However, don't give the three dissenting justice's too much credit. They were among the 5 justices who voted pro in the eminent domain verdict. Perhaps conscience played a part in this decision which should be rightfully renamed Big Business v. The Little Guy. I want my country back!

503 July 13, 2008 - 12:00pm | lafero

The Charade

First and foremost, the Stupreme Court sided with a fellow peer to reduce a judgement against his (Justice Alito) company stock and it definately weighed into their decision. Second, the Exxon lawyers did their job and greased the wheels of justice until those wheels fell right off. Commendable on their part because they strung this whole ordeal out way beyond any reasonable timeline and in the process, a quarter of a persons life. It is a broken system that drags out an outcome and makes the justice system an IN-JUSTICE! The honorable Judge Holland is the only one in this case to make a just and logical decision. Why waste the time of jurors deciding on a case if the justice system is going to pull the rug right from under them. What a waste of time and emotions for this to go on so long, it was a textbook case of "public amnesia" gone bad. Finally, the "When the Hell Freeze Over" trial is finally over, so we can all go back to life again and feel warm and fuzzy about our justice system, just like the time we felt it during the O.J. trial. Hey guess what, "O.J. LOVES COMPANY"

502 July 7, 2008 - 5:12am | n8tivprd187

what about

the people who already died do there familys get paid exon shoul pay a dividend for 50 years for the hurt they caused you cant put the blame on one man we did have computers back then and warning systems

Judges Siding with their fellow judge who own's Exxon stocks.

110% positive that the Judges who voted against us fishermen were siding with their fellow Judge. All Judges have the same additude what they learned from Verious Law School that they attended, they are teached not to have any feeling about the clients only for them selves what they think is right. It is not alway's right what the judge think is right. The Judges who voted for us were forced to vote no so the 9th circute coourt could look good in a small way, they just wanted us to think that they do have feelings for us, but in real life they DON"T.. Exxon only lost pennies with 507 million, thats penny money to them when they profit an average of a trillion each year.

497 July 4, 2008 - 8:00am | jw

Failed government

It's no wonder that the new breed of young American business people lack ethic. Look at the example our leaders in the Supreme Court put forth. Will this new generation of yuppies boycott anything? Hell no. It's their complacency with government in general that put us here. It's payday for the young spoiled America. It's really too bad that all have to shoulder the burden.

496 July 3, 2008 - 8:50am | cfinstr

Justice BOUGHT by EXXON

If folks want to lawfully protest this then one must BOYCOTT EXXON and its related companies and must tell everyone you know to quit buying EXXON PRODUCTS. Alaskans have been "VIOLATED" by the coordinated activities of EXXON and its parasitic Attorneys. What else is new. Obama as a SOLUTION!?!?? GET REAL! He wants to punish America and Americans. Flee Barack Hussein Obama. If Obama gets in he will take steps to cause the rice of oil to go up more than George W. Bush allegedly did....

July 5, 2008 - 11:51pm | saundra

Barack Obama will be better than McCain

Flee Barack Obama? I'll vote for him anyday, before another Republican gets the presidency. Punish America and Americans? Where are you getting this garbage? Let's bring this right -winged America back to the center for those of us that got taken to the cleaners on this decision. Really, calm down and think about it.

495 July 3, 2008 - 4:57am | angrywhitenationalist

look at what this racist native said

http://thebirdman.org/Index/Others/Others-ExxonPlayedDirtyPoolWithTheValdezOilSpill-Ed&TLSTAR.htm where is the outrage and boycotts? double standards exist. why should he be able to threaten anyone with death based upon their race and not be told to shut his mouth?

The birdman in Florida?

What?

494 July 3, 2008 - 4:54am | dreamers

lets be real

let me start here you go head and vote for that crazy,fruitcake obama and see what he dose to alaska.you think 5.00 for gas is bad now just wait.he dose not want any oil drilling no gas drilling.tell me how we pay to heat our house this winter? people think that it is big oil doing this but its the market that drives the oil prices up and the fed cuts making our dollar weak.if i had a companys that made 10 billion in profit are you going to take my money to.how about going after warren buffet or bill gates there companys made more then some state bugets.so if you made that kind of money you wont mind been taxed to death and have people blame you for the goverments scerw ups.just think about it do you want them in your pockets taken from you.the blame needs to go where it is to blame that is big goverment .we need to start to be indapendent again let the state worry about it.where is america today its not what i remember???

July 6, 2008 - 2:24pm | saundra

Definately voting for Obama..

I hate to burst your bubble, big government is corporations and Republicans. You want independence, bring our right wing country back to the center. I'll vote Barack Obama anyday before I vote Republican after the last 8 years.

493 July 13, 2008 - 12:07pm | lafero

A lesson learned in Kindergarten (PG-13)

It all started in a little town (Valdez) and took place in a time when the future was but a dream, as long as you got your nap (All Fisherman). But when you (Exxon) soil your pants in class (The Sound), no worries, eventually it will get smeared and washed away. Don't admit it was your fault (The Company Lawyers) because if you sense that noone smells it (The Oil Globs), you'll be able to once again go back to class (The State of Big Oil) and act like nothing happened (Georgie Porgie/EXXON shareholder). Eventually the principal (The Gov) will punish that person when there is evidence of "foul play". The proof is in the pudding, Georgie Boy, now it's time to "Kiss the Girl" and run away, far... far...away.......

492 July 2, 2008 - 10:24am | realalaskan1

Pay up exxon...

Don't drag this out any longer. No more appeals. Gee, I wonder why so many are losing faith in our legal system. We need our state politicians to pressure exxon (finally) into ending this once and for all or else get exxon out of our state. We don't need them here, there are other, hopefully more responsible, companies.

Exxon settlement

Lets get a grip here folks. Those who lost a season's fishing, a home, a boat or had other actual, measurable loss due to the spill should be compensated - liberally - but they have no reason to expect a penny beyond what it takes to repair their actual loss. Anything more than that is simply greed and a lame attempt to get something for nothing. Those who had no measurable financial loss, but want compensation because their tender feelings for PWS were offended are simply opportunists who don't want to work for their money. Lets quit supporting the whiners and get those who suffered actual losses compensated and move on.

Blame the lazy fisherman who don't want to work

Those fisherman wanted the spill to happen so they could get out of work and hire some opportunistic evil lawyers. They are all lazy whiners who want handouts for nothing. Why not just get a slope job like me and work 6 out of 12 hours each day and get paid lots of overtime. Exxon greases my skids, they could grease yours too.

July 6, 2008 - 6:05pm | jdpcordova

dumb remarks

baja, you are as ignorant as they come...understand???

July 4, 2008 - 4:19pm | gcp

Anyone who thinks that Fishermen are lazy

Should have to work a season as a deckhand with NO PAY. Your cushy slope job makes YOU look lazy by comparison. Fool

July 4, 2008 - 9:50am | sourdoughsteve

Those fisherman wanted the spill to happen

Oh my...OUT of the GENE Pool...QUICK! ->

July 10, 2008 - 10:06am | baja

Tounge in cheek?

If you read more closely, I was comparing the easy job of being a self serving sit on my ass slope worker, compared to being a hardworking fisherman.

I guess my alter-evil-ego needs a good spanking. ;-)

490 July 2, 2008 - 8:05am | wygent

Damages

One of the best things we could do to help our country would be to change the law so that attorneys and plaintiffs in tort litigation would not receive any portion of damages beyond actual measurable financial losses.

Punitive damages and awards for "pain, suffering and emotional trauma" should be divided among various charities not associated with the litigation. That would not only remove the incentive for plaintiffs to take indecent liberties with the truth in hopes of getting rich off a lawsuit, but it would remove the incentive for trial lawyers to take on litigation that is patently ridiculous and counterproductive for the community at large.
Those injured physically or financially should be compensated liberally for their actual losses, including court costs and attorney's fees, but creative "damages" and punishment for bad behavior by the defendant should be paid to agencies and organizations that actually benefit the community.

Point the finger at the blood sucking lawyers

It's the lawyers who are problem, not Exxon! If the lawyers would just go away, that drunk captain could still be employed today!

Damages

Have you actually read the history and carelessness that has taken place prior to the actual spill? Or the promises made by Exxon to protect the area? Perhaps if you did you would realise that even using your theory the communities are not getting near what they should for damages to their coastlines....not to mention loss of liviliehood for many people. What incentive does Exxon have to prevent this from happening again? This has in no way been a financial issue for them.....they were able to write all the cost off, they will also be receiving a settlement from the processors that settled with them...not to mention what happens to the interest that has been accruing on the original judgement.

The concept behind punitive is for there to be consequences......do you truly see that there have been any?

Tounge in cheek

I'm just spewing right wing talking points to show how ridiculous they are.

exxon

made money off the spill. they collected interest off the original 5 bill for fourteen years. the 507 mill is a small part of that interest.now they are not wanting to pay interest to the claimants on the 507 mill. what were those judges thinking?

And obviously you don't know

And obviously you don't know anything about punitive damages laws. Punitive damages are to deter and punish for reckless actions. By being paid to the claimants, these damages are also for undeclared or indeterminate compensatory losses incurred by those harmed. Any award to charities, or others would not compensate those harmed for actual indeterminate damages. It is up the to the jury to decide if those claims are embelished or so called "indecent liberties." By the way, how would you divide the punitive damages for those having personal injury loss, since that is indeterminate over a period of time and in which actual compensatory damages may fail exponentially short in these days of high medical expenses. Also, it is the States responsibility to collect for social harm without a direct nexus to the claim. And your solution would do nothing to alleviate the legal system, either in delays or appeals to any awards divided among a States citizens. A private claim is just that. Private, and not open to those outside of the claim, including any punitive awards.
