The Supreme Court drives a stake through Juliana's heart

The long running and ill-conceived Juliana (children's climate case) was formally and finally put to rest, when the Supreme Court denied certiorari, thus affirming the Ninth Circuit's dismissal of the case. This formally ends 10+ years of litigation.

This is the correct decision. Courts cannot and should not dictate climate policy. That is purely the domain of the political branches. It is not the domain of the courts to act where the political branches have declined to act.

10 years??? either it was an exigent circumstance -and the courts really messed up.
Or it was all crap and the courts kept it alive for 1o years.

Either way courts cases that take 10 years to resolve, show courts should not be getting into policy

In the best of times, the Federal Courts are painfully slow.

then they need to stay out of the executive branch purview, because they aren't just painfully slow they are taking up suits on far too many and wide basis.. The executive should be able to make timely decisions and carry them out. not get stifled by lowly district court judge at the drop of a hat

The kid's demands was so over-the-top there's no way the Supreme Court could rule in their favor.

What a weird ****ing title. It's a court case, not a b- horror film.

Just a humorous reference to the length of time this case has been percolating in the Federal Courts. It has been dismissed and revived several times. The Supreme Court's ruling insures that it can never be revived again, thus the title.

This all could have been avoided had the original District Judge that was assigned this case dismissed it for lack of Article III standing by the plaintiffs. 10 years of wasted time could have been avoided.

Your argument is nonsense, whatever the issue in the case. You really don't understand the role of courts.
