@progressivereform.bsky.social“It is possible that the court will rule in a way that preserves at least some, if not all, of state tort claims related to climate harms,” said CPR Member Scholar Rachel Rothschild of Michigan Law School. @umichlaw.bsky.social
@profrrothschild.bsky.socialReposted by @progressivereform.bsky.socialAfter listening to oral arguments in Suncor v. Boulder just now, I hope someone will give Justice Kavanaugh my @yalelawjournal.bsky.social Essay on the case. It provides a detailed history of Ouellette & the other precedents invoked in Suncor. These cases do not say what Justice Kavanaugh asserted.
@progressivereform.bsky.social🔊Take a listen!
"A broad ruling against the county ends essentially all of them, and the public, frankly - all of us - end up footing the bill before the case can even be heard."

Suncor v. Boulder
@progressivereform.bsky.socialUCLA law professor Alejandro Camacho described the “preemption arguments as the latest and perhaps most ambitious effort to weaponize federal law to prevent polluters and fraudsters from paying for the harms they cause.” 👇
@progressivereform.bsky.socialThe Supreme Court just heard a major climate case yesterday! ⚖️
The arguments offered some clues about where the justices may be headed. But there was one powerful answer to a key argument that never made it into the courtroom.

@progressivereform.bsky.socialMaryland! Solar, wind, and batteries are the lowest-cost way to generate electricity. The more we build these clean energy sources, the lower our energy costs will be.📣
Lower costs AND clean power are possible if our leaders take action. Add your name if you agree: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ad...

Boulder case, which could decide whether states are able to hold fossil fuel companies liable for climate harms:

@jamesgoodwin.bsky.socialReposted by @progressivereform.bsky.socialCheck out my latest for @progressivereform.bsky.social: State courts have always been about holding irresponsible businesses accountable. The Supreme Court could use Suncor to give Big Oil a free pass.

@federicoholm.bsky.socialReposted by @progressivereform.bsky.socialRecently, Rob Glicksman (GW Law) and I submitted a public comment in opposition to USDA's proposed recission of the Roadless Rule. This move by USDA/Forest Service is as unnecessary as it is shortsighted.
