Robert Byrd: “This vote-a-rama amendment, which Senator Specter has embraced in his proposal, could serve as a starting point for this…”

aside from the health and safety laws, what unconventional remedies exist to deal with a rogue mining company that has a reputation for flouting the law?

The Framers recognized that a minority can be right and that a majority can be wrong.

I cannot fathom how an American business could practice such disgraceful health and safety policies while at the same time boasting about its commitment to safety of its workers.
