Suit says administration is impinging on rights to life and liberty by worsening planet-warming and toxic pollution
Eighteen American youth are demanding that a court immediately halt the Trump administration’s repeal of the scientific finding underpinning virtually all US climate regulations.
The plaintiffs sued the Trump administration in February days after officials revoked the 2009 endangerment finding, which found that greenhouse gas pollution threatens public health and welfare. Filed in the Washington DC circuit court of appeals Venner v EPA alleges that the move infringes upon rights guaranteed by the US constitution, including to religious freedom, life and liberty.
“My faith has taught me to protect and nurture all children, all life, all creation,” said Elena Venner, the 21-year-old named plaintiff in the case. “With these repeals, the conditions for life are not being protected.”
Going with a faith based argument against it is an interesting move, but I think it could be pretty effective.

I’ve seen people take the religious approach to a number of, let’s call them, nontraditional issues. It usually comes down to whether or not the judge is amused by the novelty of the approach. sometimes it can work out, but sometimes it can backfire.
