In the same week large swaths of the US were under extreme heat warnings, Joe Biden’s Justice Department filed its most recent motion to dismiss a landmark climate case by arguing that nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to a secure climate.
requires the federal government to maintain a climate that supports human life.
Unironically this is a new frontier of ghoul behevior. The next time a person tells me some shit like Biden is "the most progressive president since FDR" I'm straight up spitting in their face.
Biden can't just dictate DOJ positions. DOJ is saying that, as a matter of law the Constitution doesn't say that. That if they use that argument in court, they'll lose. They're not saying that's a good thing and they're certainly not saying that Biden doesn't care about climate change.
As a leftist, anyone who says biden and fdr in the same sentence generally gets a guffaw…. But thankfully it’s usually the punchline of a joke anyways, so
FDR was really the only slightly good (post-Lincoln) US president. And that was really only because he knew heads were going to start rolling if the government didn't throw some bones to the working class.
I think he was saying the line between FDR and the other presidents is so wide that calling anyone else progressive by comparison would essentially be changing what it means to be progressive.
If I had any courage, I should keep track of all this shit Biden and his team has done and when CHUDs whine, point to it and ask "He's giving you everything you want, what more do you want?"
God, I wish it was the opposite, both parties favor the left, but Republicans just give the normies lip service, which seems to be what appeases them anyways.
