In the same week large swaths of the US were under extreme heat warnings, Joe Biden’s Justice Department filed its most recent motion to dismiss a landmark climate case by arguing that nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to a secure climate.
People who are saying “this is technically correct” forget that The 9nth amendment says this
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
Which is to say, Just because a right isn’t explicitly enumerated in the constitution does not mean the people don’t retain that right. I would think the right to not have the planet not be destroyed by Fossil Fuel Companies would fall under that, along with clean and and water and all the rest.
