On August 14, 2023, Montana Republicans lost the Held v Montana (HvM) climate lawsuit, as I said they would since June 2022, based upon how AG Knudsen was failing to prepare to defend HvM.
The judge did not make a biased decision, as AG Knudsen now clams. The judge properly used the evidence presented in the trial. The Supreme Court will agree with the judge.
The trial was NOT a “clown show” as several Republicans have claimed, unless we are talking about AG Austin Knudsen. Montana lost because Knudsen did not defend against the plaintiffs’ climate claims.
Worse, before the trial began on June 12, 2023, Assistant AG Michael Russell stipulated,
“for the purposes of trial, there is a scientific consensus that earth is warming as a direct result of human GHG emissions, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels.”
Knudsen gave away the farm. He caved on climate and gave the Democrats control of Montana’s mining, energy, economy, and education.
Knudsen’s stipulation reduced the trial to the issue of whether the Montana Constitution prevails over the legislature. But he presented no evidence that the legislature prevails over the Constitution. He could have asked a constitution expert to argue that point.
“But he presented no evidence that the legislature prevails over the Constitution. He could have asked a constitution expert to argue that point.”
Maybe he asked a constitution scholar and they laughed at him. How can the legislature, created and empowered BY the constitution prevail over it?
Another reason I’m done with the Republican Party for good.
We cannot progress until we find a replacement.
The GOP is every bit as corrupt and worthless as the rat party.
He was assisted by McConnell and McDaniel.
The same non-Rat Country Club scum will find their way into whatever new party surfaces. The NRCCS must be defeated by MAGA/AF types.
We need more horses than just Trump.
Definitely
They're just here to pick up the opposition party paychecks and bennies.
All the perks, none of the responsibility.
So you are telling me there is only a uniparty? Get out of town! /s

This is the reason why we need loser pays. See if those little bass turds are ready to take the risk.
Dr. Ed Berry’s argument that was available but was ignored, could have reversed the decision.
“We need more horses than just Trump.”
Yup.
There is no such thing as a scientific consensus.
Scientific consensus, what a joke.
That is Dr. Berry's argument....
So many jackass Republicans at all levels, no wonder the nation is done.
You need to expose the surveillance in this country, because it is the most exposed part of the intelligence operation that has taken it over, and is rigging our elections like some Latin American banana republic.
Until you attack the intel op and expose all its agents on the ground, in every neighborhood, including your’s you will never accomplish anything.
