Holy crap.
(BTW, I saw that my browser offered a "Summarize" function when I loaded the article which said this about the piece...I think it is a decent and very brief summary. I did read the whole article, but I found it useful to read that summary first, since it contains a lot of information and enabled me to process the detail of what I read more quickly):
SUMMARY: The 2009 Endangerment Finding (EF), which labeled carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as a danger to human health, was rescinded by the Trump administration in February 2026. This action has led to numerous lawsuits challenging the rescission, consolidated in the DC Circuit Court. The court’s slow progress, particularly in scheduling, raises concerns that the case may not reach the Supreme Court before Trump’s term ends, potentially allowing a future administration to reinstate the EF.
I saw this, and nearly spit my drink. This is apparently one of the things they are using to slow-walk action on it:
"The petitioners making this motion are a collection of individuals from what are often called the “youth” climate cases — groups of children and teenagers, Greta Thunberg wannabes if you will, claiming that their lives are somehow being ruined by the burning of fossil fuels. And what is the basis on which they seek their “stay”? Here is their first argument:
The Repeal Rule Violates Petitioners’ Fundamental Free Exercise Rights Under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Repeal Rule substantially burdens Petitioners Elena, J.K., M.D., and E.S.’s sincerely held religious beliefs. “Government shall not substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion” unless it can demonstrate the burden furthers “a compelling governmental interest” and “is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.” . . . The Repeal Rule pressures E.S., J.K., and M.D. to modify their behavior in a way that seriously violates their sincerely held religious beliefs by forcing a choice between adherence to their religious tenets, and protecting their health and safety. Petitioners E.S. and J.K. are observant Jews whose religion requires them to walk to synagogue on the Sabbath. . . . M.D. is an observant Muslim whose religion requires her to fast during Ramadan. . . . Each Sabbath that is made too hot for E.S. and J.K. to walk safely to synagogue, and each day of Ramadan that is made too hot for M.D. to safely fast and wear hijab, is a day they are prevented from observing important requirements of their religions."
Wow. Just wow. And then this other element:
"The Repeal Rule Violates Petitioners’ Rights to Life and Liberties Under the Fifth Amendment...Petitioners may not be “deprived of life . . . without due process of law.” U.S. Const. amend. V. . . . GHG emissions from the Repeal Rule further disrupt Earth’s energy imbalance [sic] in a way that increases heat, wildfires, and wildfire smoke that injures Petitioners’ lives and health. . . . More wildfire smoke exposure exacerbates Elena’s and Maya’s asthma and Elena’s serious infections, which are life-threatening conditions."
Astonishing. The Left is the embodiment of evil in this nation, and that includes the Democrat Party. Think of that. The Democrat Party in the United States may be accurately characterized as a Domestic Enemy of this Republic. And here is where we have arrived.
