But hey, sometimes Team Trump can try to kill two birds with one stone, as Gizmodo’s Brian Kahn observes:
David Wright, an assistant professor at the University of Calgary Faculty of Law, who has studied California’s agreement with Quebec, said that while there is some case law supporting the Trump administration’s legal argument, “the case is extremely far from a slam dunk.”“I would suggest that this litigation will not be successful because the cap-and-trade regime was carefully structured to not have key characteristics of formal international agreements,” he said.
Fat chance of that. As the Times notes, this is just the latest in a series of Trump initiatives aimed at hamstringing California’s environmental efforts: When he ran for president, he had been involved in some 4,000 lawsuits, a USA Today tally found, about 40 percent filed by Trump and his businesses. He brought the practice with him into politics, threatening to sue, or actually suing: Sen. Ted Cruz , Gov.
erinbiba More like kill who knows how many birds with one soulless run of environmental vengeance. Trump is such a sociopath.
