Just as a question, isn't "treated" waste considered clean? dhol82 Apr 2020 #4
that was my take too stopdiggin Apr 2020 #6

"Partially treated" No it is not clean. All sides accept that it still contains pollutants. yellowcanine Apr 2020 #9
I stand corrected. thank you. (nt) stopdiggin Apr 2020 #14

Freepers aren't happy with Kavanaugh. They consider him to be a Roberts clone. Kaleva Apr 2020 #15
Well, that's a surprise. dhol82 Apr 2020 #43
I lurk over there sometimes and their opinion of Kavanaugh is low. Kaleva Apr 2020 #52

Fascinating bit of history. dhol82 Apr 2020 #44
SOMEBODY would probably say it!! oldsoftie Apr 2020 #46
Remember the South Park episode about the water park that went over the Pee limit? jaxexpat Apr 2020 #36
Ha, good analogy! JudyM Apr 2020 #38
I can see why Kavanaugh voted this way Dopers_Greed Apr 2020 #23

Actually the majority of cases are 7-2 or above. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #35
To me, unpredictable would be the ideal situation Steelrolled Apr 2020 #54
