Great essay Thank you. Federal preemption of state laws is always interesting.and is usually when the government has an overiding interest to protect some parties. I fail to see that's present here.
The Whitehouse, by filing BEFORE the state of Hawaii did, has no legal standing. Federal lawyers could not at the time of filing have any detailed facts about the lawsuit they are trying to prevent. The action they are hoping for must be controlled by laws, not lawsuits.
Good news from Hawaii. They should pursue what The Hague did and ban fossil fuel ads.
