The Supreme Court must rein in climate litigation
The Supreme Court will soon decide whether to hear Suncor Energy Inc. v. Boulder, a case about energy companies and climate change that could determine whether America’s energy policy is effectively dictated by local judges scattered across the country, mostly in progressive enclaves.
Boulder’s lawsuit pushes against more than energy companies; it challenges the structural constitutional protections that ensure equal sovereignty among the states.
That’s why, on behalf of Alabama, I led a coalition of 26 state attorneys general to urge the Supreme Court to hear the case. My colleagues and I share the simple conviction that national energy policy should not be set in courtrooms across the country at the behest of liberal enclaves that have seen their views increasingly rejected at the ballot box and in the halls of Congress. We believe the Supreme Court should take this case........
