12 States sue Joe Biden over climate change Executive Order

According to this story 12 States have banded together claiming the President overstepped his boundaries and violated the sovereignty of the States when he issued his climate change Executive Order and are suing to stop its implementation. Here is more:

A coalition of 12 states is suing President Biden’s administration over a climate executive order that they claim has the potential to have a serious economic impact across the country through the expansion of federal regulatory power.

The suit, which is being led by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, was filed on Monday. State attorneys general from Arkansas, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah also joined the action.

It alleges that Biden’s Executive Order 13990, titled “Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis,” does not have the authority to issue binding numbers for the “social cost” of greenhouse gases to be used in federal regulations.

Schmitt said that those potential regulations will stifle manufacturing and harm agriculture in Missouri, where state figures show that hundreds of thousands of people work in those industries.

“Under President Biden’s executive order, which he didn’t have the authority to enact, these hard-working Missourians who have lived and worked this land for generations, could be left in the dust,” Schmitt said in a written press release.

I have to be honest, I am glad these States were paying attention because I do not remember Joe Biden even signing a climate change Executive Order. But then again, Joe Biden does not even know what he was signing so I guess I can be forgiven for not being able to keep up.
