Will It Work? First Constitutional Climate Trial In U.S. HISTORY - The Left Wing 7.4
The US’s first-ever trial in a constitutional climate lawsuit kicked off on Monday morning in a packed courtroom in Helena, Montana.
The case, Held v Montana, was brought in 2020 by 16 plaintiffs between the ages of five and 22 from around the state who allege state officials violated their constitutional right to a healthy environment by enacting pro-fossil fuel policies.
We discuss the details of the case, whether or not this can have a profound impact & changes made in Montana under the current Governor's administration
