Again, the Department of Justice is trying to stop the climate litigation lawsuit in Oregon. It’s one in a bunch of complicated legal maneuvers that are confusing and represent the relentless pursuit of the trump administration to not litigate this issue.
Excerpt:
President Donald Trump’s administration on Thursday for a second time asked the U.S. Supreme Court to put the brakes on a lawsuit filed by young activists who have accused the U.S. government of ignoring the perils of climate change.
In the lawsuit, 21 activists, ages 11 to 22, said federal officials violated their rights to due process under the U.S. Constitution by failing to adequately address carbon pollution such as emissions from the burning of fossil fuels.
On July 30, the high court rejected an earlier application by the Trump administration, saying it was premature.
Eugene, Oregon-based federal judge Ann Aiken on Monday issued another ruling allowing the case to move forward to trial on Oct. 29 if either the high court or the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals do not intervene.
