"However, the voters of King County could remove him in the next election."

I think the judge is a she.

Sorry kiddies, there’s no money left.

The Washington teachers’ union (WEA) just finished a shakedown with a complicit state supreme court. The state’s constitution pledge of “ample provision” for education is not being met, according to the McCleary decision.

Now, Governor Inslee is floating a proposed budget with 4 billion more dollars for “education”. So, the moral is: if you want money, kiddies, form a union.

Trump needs to get rid of these so called “judges” like this. Retards should not be “judges”.

[Dilbert San Diego]

How can children, legally minors, file a lawsuit in the first place???

Do they have liberal parents who are the actual plaintiffs on the legal paperwork???

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL.

[Timpanagos1]

We should have more kids that take such steps to challenge the powers of government.

[Manly Warrior]

Last time I heard, courts require statements of fact, not theory or supposition to prove a case, even liberal courts. This could be a case that runs its course to the USSC.... climate change sure, well, maybe, at times, depending on a myriad of uncontrollable variables, but me burning firewood in winter? Not so much.

You cannot halt climate change without changing the climate.

King County Superior Court Judge Hollis Hill has evidently decided to follow personal opinions rather than the law when making rulings.

Is King County Superior Court Judge Hollis Hill fit to remain on the bench?

Is King County Superior Court Judge Hollis Hill senile? Or just an idiot?

[wbill]

...because I always ask 12-year-olds for their opinion before I make Global-Affecting Economic Decisions based on what is at best, an inexact science.

Judge needs to be tossed out on his kiester.

[Cen-Tejas]

no standing, will lose on appeal

no causation, no specific damages

bottom line, “typical, Washington State Prog BS”

[pfflier]

Awww now ain't that cute?

There is absolutely no chance some adults (parents or activists) are using these little cherubs to promote a socialist agenda....is there???

[workerbee]

Eight Seattle children should have "their day in court" to argue that Washington state and others aren't protecting them from climate change

Is this for real, or the plot to Lifetime's channel's movie of the week?

[hal ogen]

Most of these LIB-idiot children are lunatics and will probably kill themselves over the next few years. Their parents (and this judge) continue to abuse them. LIBs are ALL lunatics.

[rlmorel]

I could not disagree with you more vehemently.

[Pearls Before Swine]

The kids are puppets.

Why do they have standing here when American citizens have none on issues like immigration, border security, or even Obama’s citizenship (which was not properly certified before his elections)?

[Bob434]

so a bunch of brainwashed kids with zero expertise on climate change are allowed to bring suit against our gubmint? I guess our courts are now kangaroo courts meant more for entertainment and for punishing those who don’t subscribe to unprovable liberal agendas now?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Global warming, not climate change.

These little commies think raising taxes and redistributing Liberty will improve the weather.

[gunsmithkat]

You can sue about anything today, including non-existent Gorebull Warmening.
