16 Democrat AGs Begin Inquisition Against ‘Climate Change Disbelievers’

You should prolly blame the lying liars who got caught trying to promote lung cancer.

There’s strength in numbers. No one understands that better than state attorneys general.

Over the past two decades, AGs have banded together to launch dozens of lawsuits. The resulting settlements have not only brought billions into state coffers, but also changed the regulatory landscape in areas such as health care, banking and energy. The role of de facto national policymakers that state AGs have assumed for themselves -- and how they were able to pull this off -- is the subject of a new book called Federalism on Trial, by Marquette University political scientist Paul Nolette.

The shift began with the massive settlement with the tobacco industry back in 1998. Having failed to get a deal through Congress, state AGs got cigarette makers not only to pony up more than $200 billion, but also to agree to change their marketing strategies.
