The Justices Should Have to Breathe Our Air

Re “Supreme Court Curbs AQMD in Smog Battle,” April 29:
Thank you, Bush administration, for siding with engine manufacturers and oil companies (how wildly predictable) in the Supreme Court battle against the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Anyone who hasn’t been in a coma since the Bush regime was installed by that court knows what little regard the administration has for the environment; but as the mother of two small children living in the San Fernando Valley, I take this one personally.

I’ve got an idea: Let’s invite the justices of the Supreme Court to live in Southern California for a while.
After a few months of breathing our air, I’ll bet they’d be more inclined to think of the AQMD’s power to set pollution standards as a states’ rights issue.
