The administration urged the justices to reject the oil companies’ petition for review of a February 2022 appeals court's ruling that sent the case back to state court, a venue generally considered more favorable to the municipal plaintiffs.
The Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the case after concluding that none of the grounds cited by the companies to change the venue supported giving federal courts jurisdiction. The venue question is a key point of contention in roughly two dozen lawsuits filed by states and municipalities against major oil companies alleging they concealed and misrepresented the dangers associated with burning fossil fuels.
The oil companies have denied the local and state governments' allegations and argued that despite the municipalities only raising state law claims, the cases clearly raise federal questions.The case, if the Supreme Court elects to take it, would give the high court a second chance to clarify whether state or federal courts should hear the lawsuits filed by states and local governments, including Honolulu, Baltimore, and the states of Rhode Island and Delaware.
How does the executive branch have any authority over the judicial branch? It’s almost like they don’t give a shit about the separation of powers.
Thats why they win all their Cases because if State Judges. Violating our rights. They will ignor the common law.
Will anyone tell these politicians that the planet was teaming with life during the Jurassic period with CO2 levels at 0.20% compare to the 0.04% we have now? Does anyone care about reality anymore or do we all need to act like we'll all die if CO2 levels go up by 0.01 percent?…
Lol does he know what that means?
