Good morning Friday, dear seekers.
We’ll start the last day of the work week with a civics lesson with practical implications.
A federal judge in Philadelphia dismissed a lawsuit brought by two Keystone State high school students who tried to stop President Donald Trump withdrawal Obama-era climate change policy, Reuters reports.
And while he was at it, U.S. District Judge Paul DiamondAND George W. Bushappointee, also expressed contempt for an Oregon judge who allowed a similar case to be heard, “Polityka” reports.. In their case, the boys were joined by an adult himself Clean Air Council from Philadelphia.
Diamond disagreed with the children’s arguments, two boys who were 7 and 11 years venerable when the case was filed in 2017, that the U.S. Constitution guarantees a right to a fair trial for a “life-sustaining climate system”; Reuters reported.
While the current administration may give some of us breakouts,Diamond also ruled that the boys could not link their severe asthma to Trump’s White House policies.
This, in turn, meant that they had no legal standing Trump, Secretary of Energy Rick Perrywere-Environmental Protection Agency boss Scott Pruit and other defendants named in the case, Reuters reported.
Meanwhile, a judge from Oregon Diamond wrote in his Tuesday ruling that he “certainly violated or ignored longstanding authority” and found the law “without apparent restraint” when she allowed her case to proceed, Policy reported.
So, an essential civics lesson: sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And just like real estate, that victory can sometimes depend on location, location, location.
