Julia Olsen plaintiff’s counsel quote, “President Trump must accept that the courts do not do his bidding, and in a court of law, ‘alternative facts’ are considered perjury.”

The Court of Appeals chose in an opinion today to not uphold an order by the trial court, but it is of little consequence since the Department of Ecology already did what it was court ordered to do. Washington youth plaintiffs now look forward to filing a new constitutional case against the state of Washington in order to get the science-based relief, in the form of a climate recovery plan, that they deserve. Read the full opinion.

U.S. Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Youth Plaintiffs, Allows Juliana v. United States to Proceed to Trial!

90. Oct. 5th Children’s Trust reports via Mail Chimp: On Friday, in an unprecedented and desperate move, the Trump administration filed another motion with the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon to postpone trial in Juliana v. United States, while they seek review again from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and from the U.S. Supreme Court on the same legal questions they’ve raised before.

This was the third attempt to dismiss or block the case.  The judge has denied all three.  The judge largely rejected the government’s arguments but granted the administration’s motion to dismiss President Donald Trump as a defendant. The judge said the students can get what they want by suing officials below the president, but she left the door open for Trump to be reinstated as a defendant in the case, if necessary.

93.  Oct 19, 2018 https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/us-stop-youth-climate-lawsuit-days-trial-58622820
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked a high-profile climate change lawsuit brought by young activists who accuse the federal government of violating their constitutional rights with policies that have caused a dangerous climate.  Chief Justice John Roberts signed an order freezing the trial that was set to start in 10 days in federal court in Oregon until lawyers for the young people provide a response and the high court issues another order.  It marked a victory for the government, which under the Obama and Trump administrations has tried unsuccessfully for years to get the case dismissed. An expert says the Trump administration tried again before the Oct. 29 trial as the court shifted to the right with the confirmation this month of Brett Kavanaugh.

Washington State Court of Appeals – 13 youth plaintiffs in Aji P. v. State of Washington

102. Sept 17, 2020 https://vimeo.com/459149724?utm_source=Our+Children%27s+Trust+Newsletter&utm_campaign=2237c48e93-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_06_01_10_49_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_4094e87487-2237c48e93-116300001 
Andrea Rogers presented oral arguments on behalf of our 13 youth plaintiffs in Aji P. v. State of Washington. Three judges in the Washington State Court of Appeals heard my argument that these brave young people—all of whom have been directly harmed by climate change and the actions of their government, many of them currently struggling with the devastating impacts of this month’s historic wildfires—deserve their day in court.
