The Massachusetts high court dismissed oil giant ExxonMobil’s motion to dismiss a state lawsuit accusing it of misleading investors on climate change Tuesday.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the state could proceed with its lawsuit against ExxonMobil and that a free speech law didn’t protect the company’s activity in question, according to the decision written by Chief Justice Scott Kafker. Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey filed the lawsuit against ExxonMobil in 2019, alleging that the company misled investors about the financial risks posed by fossil fuel-driven climate change through a “deceptive advertising” campaign.

‘deceptive advertising’ - too bad this isn’t applied against the Democrats.
Destroying America one industry at a time
It would seem to be the best option for a fight-back tactic. Pick ONE state and isolate it, deny it ANY product at all.
Massachusetts is probably the one I’d pick - just because Kennedys, Barney Frank,, Obamas and all those Marthas Vineyard Democrats AND the idiots in MA that keep voting for them.
“...according to the decision written by Chief Justice Scott Kafker. “
Change the “er” to an “a” and you get Kafka. A liberally polluted judiciary produces Kafka-esque decisions and results, as in “The Trial.”
Deceptive advertising that would be the Global Warming crowd
This isn’t quite a first amendment ruling.
Exxon was arguing (and they’re right) that the state is waging attack lawsuits at them and Massachusetts has laws on the books to prevent that.
The court has ruled that those laws don’t apply to the government.
Rules for thee not for me…
More ESG agitation should eventually be good for another 50 cent/gallon increase in the price of gasoline
I thought the same thing at first, but they’d just be leaving the market to their competitors. And if the state ran every oil company out of town they’d just create state run gas stations like places that have state run liquor stores.
This is how Obama got the oil industry to back his plans.
“Back us or we will sue you”
The ruling is in Massachusetts, not America
Massachusetts must be purged from the Union
Make them prove “climate change” is real.
Damned right they should HALT ALL SALES and Deliveries, including requiring Terms of Use Agreements for every customer they have Forbidding any Sales or Deliveries to Massachussets
No, no, wrong take.
Make them prove that CO2 is the cause. Not theoretical. Factual and with measurable impact. They must prove that CO2 is the one and only cause of global warming. At least 51% or shut the F** up.
Get out of Massachusetts.
