A #Montana judge on Monday sided with young environmental activists who said state agencies were violating their #ConstitutionalRight to a clean and healthful #environment by permitting #FossilFuel development without considering its effect on the #climate.
The ruling following a first-of-its- kind trial in the U.S. adds to a small number of legal decisions around the world that have established a government duty to protect citizens from #ClimateChange.

#RCMP arbitrarily decides who's a #journalist & who isn’t & prevented journalists from #accessing sites of #Indigenous resistance. When #media fought back RCMP reduced those barriers only to #obstruct journalists’ ability to #document arrests. #Mounties have aimed guns at journalists. They’ve #arrested & #jailed #reporters for doing their job. These are #incursions on journalists’ & all #Canadians #ConstitutionalRight to a #FreePress 💥

#ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts says it was harder for him to decide to have a fence erected around the US #SupremeCourt… than it was to… (strip) women of their #ConstitutionalRight to #abortion.

«On April 5th, #Conservative commentator #AnnCoulter tweeted that "the demand for anti-abortion legislation just cost #Republicans another crucial race," referring to the #Wisconsin #SupremeCourt seat that flipped from #Republican to #Democrat in the election on Tuesday, April 4th. "Pro-lifers: WE WON. #Abortion is not a ‘ #ConstitutionalRight’ anymore! Please stop pushing strict limits on abortion, or there will be no Republicans left."»

Democratic governors in 20 states are launching a network intended to strengthen abortion access in the wake of the U.S. #SupremeCourt decision ending a woman’s #ConstitutionalRight to end a #pregnancy and instead shifting regulatory powers over the procedure to state governments. #AbortionRights #Healthcare #Choice #Privacy #ReproductiveHealth https://apnews.com/article/abortion-us-supreme-court-politics-texas-gavin-newsom-5db36213df3b4de5ad94ebbb53d01d30

#Grist: New York’s new #ConstitutionalRight to a clean environment faces first judicial test
A case challenging a landfill provides the first insights into how the courts — and state officials — will interpret the amendment.
Emily Pontecorvo
This reminds me of James Hansen's recent suggestion that a route to climate action through the courts will be more effective than one through legislation.

The judge said the Supreme Court’s ruling concluded only that the 14th Amendment included no right to abortion, but stopped short of definitively ruling out other aspects of the Constitution.

A woman rejected a plea deal after illegally registering to #vote. So she got 6 years in prison.
