States Sue Biden Administration Over Emissions Executive Order


Twelve States filed a Lawsuit against the Biden Administration on March 8th, alleging that the Administration Violated the Separation of Powers in a Jan. 20th Executive Order.

Missouri Attorney General, Eric Schmitt (R), is Leading the States in the Suit: Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah. All 12 States have Republican Attorneys General.

Biden ordered Agencies to account for the Social Cost of Greenhouse Emissions.

The Order states that the Social Costs of Carbon, Nitrous Oxide, and Methane, are Estimates of Monetized Damages "intended to include changes in net agricultural productivity, human health, property damage from increased flood risk, and the value of ecosystem services."

The Order states that this Calculation is necessary for Cost-Benefit Analyses of Regulatory Actions.

The Lawsuit states that Setting the Social Cost "is an inherently speculative, policy-laden, and indeterminate task, which involves attempting to predict such unknowable contingencies as future human migrations, international conflicts, and global catastrophes for hundreds of years into the future. Assigning such values is a quintessentially legislative action that falls within Congress's exclusive authority under Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution."

This is the First Multistate Lawsuit filed against the Biden Administration.
