ICYMI: @mctoth reveals what is at stake in Suncor v. Boulder this term. 👇
Must Watch: @mctoth reveals how the Left's dangerous efforts to pack the Supreme Court for political advantage mirror its attempts to push its radical climate agenda through lower courts.
“At the federal level, we’re seeing efforts, proposals to pack the U.S. Supreme Court to sort of get the outcomes that we want out of the federal courts. What we’re mainly talking about today is sort of an action plan at the state level, focus on state judges for proponents to get the outcomes that they want in state courts.”

Across 60 completed departures since June 2024, our model puts the present value of future franchise-tax savings at approximately $252 million, after tax and the modeled Nevada fees.
Delaware made that calculation possible. It supplied the expense.

“The judicial training was framed in significant part as a ‘leadership’ exercise. The goal was not simply to educate judges about complex areas of law and science, but to encourage them to develop and execute a climate ‘action plan.’”

"Companies already answer for material omissions in what they tell investors. The firms whose advice can move those votes bear no comparable duty for the advice itself. States can close that gap by applying an enduring standard from the Supreme Court." |
