| Anybody else ever get the feeling that Dick Scott is a reptile? Maybe that is why climate change does not bother him. |
A group of kids is suing Florida Gov. Rick Scott, claiming he “endangered” their future and violated their constitutional rights by not doing anything to combat climate change.
The youngsters filed their lawsuit on Monday in Leon County Court.
“It is the responsibility of the state to uphold the constitution, and these young people have a fundamental right to a stable climate system,” said Guy Burns, lead counsel for the eight plaintiffs, most of whom are teens.
The youths are being represented by the Oregon-based nonprofit organization Our Children’s Trust, which is supporting similar suits from children across the country.
They range in age from 10 to 20 years old — and include climate change activists Levi Draheim and Delaney Reynolds, who expressed their outrage in a statement.
“The reason that I’m a part of this lawsuit is because I believe that the climate change crisis is the biggest threat that my generation will ever have to face,” Reynolds explained.
“Right now we live in what I like to call the state of denial because the state of Florida is doing nothing to address climate change, but everything to cause it. That is completely immoral,” she said. “If we ever want to have a future of living here in Florida, if my children ever want to live here in Florida, we need to start working together to implement solutions for climate change or the state of Florida won’t exist.”
Damn, these kids today are nothing short of amazing.
I think I am going to start relaxing about the future. It seems to be in pretty good hands.
I fully support what these young people are doing - with regard to gun control and, now, climate change. We, their grandparents, must support them if we want to restore our country and our planet.

OT: Hey, isn't this what Trumplethinskin did last year? Hid like a scared little bitch and went to his safe space with rah-rah cheerleaders?
ReplyDelete'It is the second consecutive year Trump will be snubbing the annual dinner, amid his sustained attacks on much of the news media, and also the second time he has chosen instead to rally in a key battleground state he won in his 2016 election after speaking last year in Pennsylvania.'
-Why, yes. Yes, it is. He's a fucking pussy. A big, fat fucking pulsating quivering scared pussy, Trumplethinskin is.

o/t but speaking of kids:
ReplyDeleteApril 18th . anniversary of Sarah taking possession of TriG has come and gone. No mention of his proclaimed 10th birthday. 10 is a milestone year. From now on though, this date will not be acknowledge because also, too the statute of limitations is up. People are free to spill detail sans criminal consequences. So, Scarah sure doesn't want to remind anyone of the event now!! What a way to treat your precious gift from god.

"The lawmakers called on Sessions to investigate Hillary Clinton, former FBI director James Comey and his former deputy Andrew McCabe, former attorney general Loretta Lynch and former acting attorney general Sally Yates, former acting assistant attorney general Dana Boente, and FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
The letter was also addressed to FBI director Christopher Wray and John Huber, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah.
“We are especially mindful of the dissimilar degrees of zealousness that has marked the investigations into Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and and the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, respectively,”"

There's a start to your list of FASCISTS that are taking over our government.
DeleteHow heads would have spun if the Democrats had made similar demands when Obama won. Like demanding that Bush, Cheney, Rice, Bolton, et al be investigated for WAR CRIMES.

OT? "Gorsuch’s vote, and his separate opinion in Dimaya, confirms that he is much more a Thomas than he is an Alito. He is willing to hand liberals a small victory on the path to a much larger effort to shift legal doctrines to the right.
ReplyDeleteThe man who occupies the seat that Senate Republicans held open for a year " "Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was appointed to the bench by Trump last year, sided with the court's liberals in the 5-4 decision. " "Gorsuch’s opinion in Dimaya, in other words, should not give even a moment of comfort to liberals. If anything, it should chill anyone who believes that a modern society must have robust labor and environmental regulation. Mr. Gorsuch does not outright endorse Thomas’ view of agency regulation, but Gorsuch’s opinion in Dimaya is another data point suggesting that he and Thomas have similar views on this subject. Gorsuch just chose to express his broader anti-regulatory view in a decision involving an immigrant."
", Gorsuch’s ideology is more libertarian. That means the two men are likely to vote together in labor and environmental cases — or even, potentially, in child labor cases"
