The plaintiffs in Juliana v. United States--aka the "kids climate case"--are back at the Supreme Court asking the justices to bring their case back from the dead.
The lawsuit (which I have covered repeatedly) claims there is a federal constitutional right to a stable environment enforceable in federal court. While one district court judge accepted these arguments, the Ninth Circuit has repeatedly concluded the plaintiffs lack standing to press their audacious claims.
Back in May, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit granted the federal governments writ of mandamus to end the district court's proceedings and ordered the case dismissed. Since then, the plaintiffs sought a writ of mandamus from the justices to vacate the Ninth Circuit's judgment and bring the case back, but the justices were not having any of it.
