Wednesday marked the one-year anniversary of the day an army of Democratic prosecutors unveiled a coordinated campaign to hunt down so-called “climate change deniers.” Constitutional experts have described the initiative as one of the more egregious attacks on the First Amendment in U.S. history.
One year later, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s coalition of
Attorneys General United for Clean Power has disintegrated in the heat of its own abusive law enforcement practices.
“Since then, Schneiderman’s
coalition has fallen apart: most of its members have left, the
subpoenas served on us and Exxon by Virgin Islands AG Claude Walker
were quickly withdrawn, and the
climate science debate that this gang tried to shut down
is more energetic than ever,” Kazman added. “Ironically, nowhere is that better demonstrated than by [Tuesday’s] environmental executive order from the president.”
