Climate activists to launch flurry of suits across U.S.

Get ready for more nuttiness.

How can I sue the Natural Resources Defense Council?

There must be some way to play their own game against them.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Between attorneys and EPA, our air and water will be rationed or discontinued.
Either way...PAY UP!

[Truth29]

We need conservative legal eagles to develop a strategy to sue these plaintiffs for economic damage and injury because of their actions. Each suit countered by another suit.

[thecabal]

Hmmmm. If some black robed tyrant buys into this legal theory, then I think I shall hire a lawyer to represent my kids against the massive amount of debt which is being put upon them before they have even had a chance to have any decision in the matter.

[lonestar]

So, they filing their lawsuits in China, Mexico and India?

[cripplecreek]

These cases should be thrown out of every single court based on the fact that they’re going to be filed under false pretenses.

The only contribution I see to "global warming" is the extraordinary amounts of hot air coming out of the pieholes of these freakish, hard of thinking, ultra liberal enviro-nazies.

Who is to say what the optimal climate should be for a particular state? Or the optimal carbon dioxide level? What if, say, a warmer Wisconsin would produce more milk and cheese than it does now? Does that count in the equation?

These court-clogging opportunists should be horse whipped.

A group of attorneys using children and young adults as plaintiffs ...

And we taxpayers will fund them.

Lawyers are scum and filth.

Speth, now at the Vermont Law School, said public trust litigation over climate change could work if its backers can find a judge liberal activist wacko judge willing to innovate a new area of law legislate from bench.

There, fixed. A countersuit needs to be filed against every one of these suits because they are being filed fraudently (using children and young adults as 'plaintiffs')

[Marty62]

Didn’t the Supremes just rule against buck shot class action Lawsuits. (Corps won)

[muawiyah]

Go sue them for using up more than their fair share of the air. Make sure you do that in a court where they are filing suit.

[LostInBayport]

Translation: a liberal activist wearing a black robe.

The lawyers bringing this garbage should be sanctioned for wasting court time and resources. Disgusting to see how law schools have followed the path of public schools -- teaching social activism instead of the more traditional legal concepts embraced by our founders.

[loboinok]

Climate activists appeal to judicial activists to launch flurry of suits across U.S.

More accurate.

[Dilbert San Diego]

This points up the flaws in liberal thinking in general terms.

They want to find a judge willing to innovate a new area of law. This is strictly a liberal thought process. Only liberal radical types look to the courts to “innovate” law. Laws are not supposed to be made by courts.

And by filing in 50 states and DC, they are hoping to find at least one such judge willing to innovate for them. And just one favorable ruling could set in motion a chain of events leading to judges setting up cap and trade, or more draconian regulations.

This points up the importance of having conservative judges in our courts. A good common sense conservative would throw this crapola right out of court. Only a liberal mindset would allow lawsuits like this to proceed, and/or rule favorably on them.

This is a good example of legislating from the bench. The liberals couldn’t get cap and trade passed in Congress even when both houses of Congress were in Democrat hands. So now they look to force something through the courts. We’ve played this scene before.

[KoRn]

These kinds of public policy issues are up to either the state legislatures or Congress to determine, not judges,"

As if THAT'S ever made a difference......

[FreedomPoster]

These nutcases want to take us back to 1960s levels of energy usage, and the attendant drop in standard of living, over a scam cooked up by the symbiotic evil of Big Science selling their souls for grants and Big Government lusting after more power.

No thanks.
