California Lawmakers: Global Warming Skeptics not Protected by First Amendment


Democrats in California have a reputation for disregarding the law in order to push their leftist agenda. With few elected Republicans to get in their way, they are often successful in their pursuit. Their latest efforts aim to repeal citizens’ first amendment rights — in one very particular way.

California congressmen wrote a letter to state attorney general Kamala Harris claiming the freedom of speech “is not designed to protect fraud and deceit” of the likes being spread by oil company ExxonMobil about global warming.

Nineteen Democratic lawmakers told Harris her “investigation as to whether ExxonMobil lied about the truth of climate change and misled investors does not constitute an effort to silence speech or scientific research.

“The First Amendment protects freedom of speech, but it does not protect companies from defrauding the American people or improperly disclosing information to their shareholders,” lawmakers, including California Reps. Maxine Waters and Ted Lieu, wrote to Harris.

Of course California lawmakers must protect their ability to propagate their global warming agenda. Without constant threat of climate-driven global annihilation, how else could they justify all of the harm their environmental policies have inflicted on the Golden State?
