#SCOTUS agreed Friday that #energy companies facing lawsuits over #environmental damage to Louisianaās #coast from #oil & #gas production can move the challenges from #state courts into friendlier #federal venues.The ruling is a significant victory for oil companies, led by #Chevron & #ExxonMobil, in their legal battle with #Louisiana state officials over who should pay for the stateās #coastal #erosion. The companies have been supported by the #Trump admin.#law #ClimateChange #FossilFuels

The justices unanimously agreed to allow the #oil companies to fight the lawsuits in #federal court rather than #state court.āCongress has long authorized federal officers & their agents to remove suits brought against them in state court to federal court,ā Justice #ClarenceThomas wrote.#law #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #environment #PublicHealth #habitats #wildlife #FossilFuels #money

The case, #Chevron USA Inc v #Plaquemines Parish, LA, focused on a narrow question: whether the #oil companies could remove cases over #environmental damage from #state to #federal court. But the case has been closely watched by litigants in other #climate lawsuits because state courts are generally thought to be more receptive to people who sue over damages caused by #ClimateChange, including activists & state officials.#law #ClimateCrisis #PublicHealth #wildlife #FossilFuels #money

āJusticeā #ClarenceThomas explained that the #oil company had cleared the bar required to move the case into federal court because the lawsuit dealt with oil production in #Louisiana dating back to WWII, when #Chevron refined crude oil into aviation #gasoline for the #US #military.He wrote that Chevron had shown that its #wartime production of crude oil related to its wartime aviation-gasoline refining for the military, a #federal priority.#law #ClimateChange #conservation #PublicHealth

#Louisiana has lost about 2,000 square miles of land to #coastal #erosion since the 1930sāa land mass about the size of Delaware.#PlaqueminesParish, the stateās southernmost parish, juts into the water where the #MississippiRiver meets the #GulfOfMexico. The parish, which is crisscrossed with #oil & #gas canals, has already lost nearly half of its size in the last century as #SeaLevels rise because of #ClimateChange.#law #environment #PublicHealth #conservation #wildlife #FossilFuels #money

The parish has also become more vulnerable to #storms, in part because levees built to shield #NewOrleans from #flooding also deprive the delicate #coastal #ecosystem of fresh water & sediment. Canals that aid in #oil & #gas production have also weakened the #ecosystem, experts have said.#law #climate #ClimateCrisis #environment #PublicHealth #conservation #wildlife #FossilFuels #money

ā¦Local parishes, entities similar to counties in other states, have filed >40 lawsuits since 2013, seeking billions of dollars in damages from #oil companies, which the parishes accuse of damaging the stateās #coastline over decades of production.They argue that the companies have illegally drilled, dredged & engaged in waste disposal without proper permits.#law #climate #ClimateCrisis #environment #PublicHealth #conservation #wildlife #FossilFuels #money

@Nonilex Clarence Thomas's bootstrapping argument regarding federal jurisdiction over this case is pure invention, like many of his and Samuel Alito's arguments
