Warmists are making a big deal out of this, but, they shouldn’t hang their hats quite yet
US Supreme Court Signals Serious Doubts About The Youths’ Global Warming Lawsuit Against Trump
The U.S. Supreme Court denied the Justice Department’s request to stay discovery in a lawsuit filed by group of youths and young adults that alleges a constitutional right to a “stable climate system.â€
Justices, however, took the unusual step of expressing doubts about the justiciability of the plaintiffs’ global warming claims and urged a “prompt ruling†on the federal government’s dispositive motions.
“The breadth of respondents’ claims is striking, however, and the justiciability of those claims presents substantial grounds for difference of opinion,†the Supreme Court ruled on Monday.
“The District Court should take these concerns into account in assessing the burdens of discovery and trial, as well as the desirability of a prompt ruling on the Government’s pending dispositive motions,†the court ruled.
In other words, they’re saying the lawsuit will need some serious facts, figures, and science to prove the case. Also, that SCOTUS seems to be remanding the case back for the trial judge to make it go away.
The youths argue they have a right to “a climate system capable of sustaining human life,†and that the government had violated the public trust doctrine to the detriment of future generations.
The kiddies and their lawyers are going to have a hard time proving their case, which will be great when they end up losing. Especially since the case seems to be about the judiciary making law. First question from the government should be ” have y’all given up fossil fueled travel and made your lives carbon neutral? No? Huh. Guess you don’t believe that much.”

Democrats are laying the groundwork to make a push for “Medicare for All†legislation if they win back the House in November.
President Donald Trump’s recent tweets against open borders come as no surprise. Indeed, even fervent immigration advocates worry that open borders would lower the wages of low-skilled natives, erode national security, and overburden the social safety net. Trump doubled down, tweeting that he would be “willing to 
But then it probably doesn’t help that the people who listed him are children.
The bigger the gun, the deadlier it is. Or, rather, the bullet.
In the haze of summer, with books still to be read, weeds pulled, kids retrieved from camp, it’s a little hard to fathom that, three months from now, American democracy will be on the line. The midterm elections in November are the last remaining obstacle to President Trump’s consolidation of power. None of the other forces that might have checked the rise of a corrupt homegrown oligarchy can stop or even slow it. The institutional clout that ended the Presidency of Richard Nixon no longer exists. The honest press, for all its success in exposing daily scandals, won’t persuade the unpersuadable or shame the shameless, while the dishonest press is Trump’s personal amplifier. The federal courts, including the Supreme Court, are rapidly becoming instruments of partisan advocacy, as reliably conservative as elected legislatures. It’s impossible to imagine the Roberts Court voting unanimously against the President, as the Burger Court, including five Republican appointees, did in forcing Nixon to turn over his tapes. (Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s nominee to succeed Anthony Kennedy, has even suggested that the decision was wrong.) Congress has readily submitted to the President’s will, as if legislation and oversight were burdens to be relinquished. And, when the independent counsel finally releases his report, it will have only the potency that the guardians of the law and the Constitution give it.
