New: The Supreme Court takes up a MAJOR climate case that asks whether federal law preempts (that is, forbids) state-level claims against fossil fuel companies for damages related to climate change. Climate advocates urged SCOTUS not to take this up... www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Can someone let me know what the Court’s likely schedule is this week? My understanding was that decisions were coming Wednesday and Thursday.

Hope “states rights” are given the same consideration our founding fathers did.

When the epitaph is written on the human race in about a hundred years, it will read that the species failed because its drive to preserve the species was far weaker than its drive to be selfish in the moment. Maybe the bees will do better than we did.

Thank you for saying “forbids.” Too many times I don’t understand the lawyer talk and this is helpful.

The silver lining is that SCOTUS added a question about its ability to decide this case in the first place, and it is a genuinely thorny problem. There's a chance the justices could decide they have no authority to take up this case ... but I doubt they will. I'm sure they want to nuke these suits.
