CNN, PBS NewsHour and CBS broadcast coverage described a divided bench grappling with federal preemption versus state tort law, with 26 Republican-led states and Alabama AG Steve Marshall backing the oil companies.
“The Supreme Court appeared conflicted Monday about how it will resolve a lawsuit from Boulder, Colorado that is attempting to hold two fossil fuel companies responsible for the impacts of climate change.”
