Attorney General Maura Healey promised to “vigorously oppose” a Texas judge’s order for her to testify in a deposition relating to her office’s probe of Exxon Mobil’s climate change policy and said she has no plans to visit the Lone Star State for the Dec. 13 hearing.
“Our position in this ligation is that the authorities in Texas, and specifically the federal court down there, has no jurisdiction over state attorneys general and the work of their offices,” Healey told reporters today at the State House. “It’s been disappointing to see Exxon fight the request for basic information. Our job as attorneys general is to be able to ask questions.”
Healey launched her probe of Exxon Mobil’s research in April, arguing the oil giant was deceiving consumers and investors. Exxon Mobil filed for an injunction — which Healey’s lawyers have moved to dismiss — to stop her on First Amendment and other grounds.
Judge Ed Kinkeade late last week ordered Healey, along with New York AG Eric Schneiderman to answer questions in a Dallas courtroom deposition Dec. 13.
Yup, force them to provide real facts to back up their claims. The whole case will collapse.
Can you imagine? Heads will be exploding worse than what we have recently seen. Their whole reason to exist and their life goals would all be undone in one court judgment. Of course the true believers would continue to carry the torch but would be pushed to the side like U.S. pro-Nazis prior to 1938. No one would ever listen to them again. Essentially flat Earthers.
“... and said she has no plans to visit the Lone Star State for the Dec. 13 hearing.”
Looks like an impending contempt charge shall be coming forthwith.
If every company that she is investigating did that you might see her back off.
Hey Healey,How about giving our 2nd amendment rights back, you low life hack.
I’ve known the Kinkaede family since I was in diapers growing up in Irving. Ed is a good man and doesn’t suffer fools lightly.
Those boys need to come on down to Texas.
We know how to treat yankee carpetbaggers.
Maura Healey, turd in a soup bowl, makes up the law as she goes along.
Hitler, Stalin, and Mao had many like her.
Send the Marshals for her & pick her up in handcuffs.
It would be entertaining to see a warrant issued for her arrest.
