Here’s the thing - when oil companies get the legal smack down, in many cases, it’s found that they themselves knew and admit to the damage they cause and cover that knowledge up. They continue to harm people and the environment as covertly as possible. So even they know they’re doing something wrong.

You can argue that environmental damage isn’t big oil’s fault, but big oil wouldn’t agree with you. Passing a law like this could only be acceptable to those in big oil’s pockets.

The ability to petition the courts to rectify a wrong is one of the cornerstones of a functioning society.

If you don’t provide citizens with the ability to seek justice from the government, how else will they obtain it?

That's not how bills work.

Either party can reverse this whenever they want to... just like the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act".

Now, they do like to pretend the bills are permanent, admittedly.

Wow. You need to pass a law to succumb to your overlords now?

They take out the peaceful way for people to get their pound of flesh, they're going to get it the other way.

Oh wow, buy a bike
