Warmists Upset Trump Trying To End State Climate Scam Initiatives

I love how Democrats suddenly discover the 10th Amendment when Trump is president and it interferes with their moonbattery

Trump is illegally trying to overturn state climate laws

The foundation of American government rests on a simple but powerful principle: states are not mere departments of the federal government. They are sovereign entities with both the right and the responsibility to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of their residents.

President Trump’s recent executive order, which instructs the Justice Department to block state climate laws such as New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act, is a direct attack on that principle. But executive orders cannot undo duly enacted state laws.

Trump’s action is a political stunt, not a legal reversal. New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act stands on strong constitutional ground.

Across the country, states are stepping up to respond to the rising toll of climate-fueled disasters. More than ten states have introduced climate superfund legislation based on a simple idea: those massive, multinational oil and gas corporations that caused the climate crisis should help pay for the damage. This is not only fair but necessary. The costs of climate change are staggering, and without action, those costs are already falling entirely on the shoulders of working families.

Under our system of federalism, states have always had broad authority to enact laws that protect their people. That authority is rooted in the Tenth Amendment and reinforced by centuries of precedent. Whether regulating public health, consumer safety, or environmental protection, states serve as both innovators and defenders when federal action falls short.

Huh. But, when Democrats work to force states to comply with the notion that CO2 is a danger to the United States the 10th Amendment doesn’t apply? Weird. They want it both ways. And one of the ways they did this was by saying it was interstate commerce, hence, Los Federales had authority. Which is it, Dems?

Trump’s executive order does not simply challenge this one law, but rather the very idea that states have the right to hold powerful interests accountable when Washington will not. By branding state efforts as “illegal” simply because they conflict with his administration’s ideological agenda, the president undermines the same state sovereignty that he once claimed to champion.

So, when the feds pass ‘climate change’ laws that force companies in states to comply that is un-Constitutional? Make up your minds.

I know how we can solve this: all fossil fuels companies should stop operating in these states. Let’s see how well they do without gas, diesel, natural gas, and lubricating oils. It would be fun.
