In this episode of Everybody in the Pool, host Molly Wood speaks with Mat Dos Santos, co-executive director of Our Children's Trust, about how his organization is using the legal system to fight climate change on behalf of youth plaintiffs — the kids who have the most to lose if we get this wrong. Learn how landmark victories in Montana and Hawaii are creating precedents that could reshape climate policy across America.Key Takeaways:Constitutional Climate Rights: Our Children's Trust secured a historic victory in Montana, establishing that the state constitution's "clean and healthful environment" provision protects young people's right to a livable climate future.Youth-Led Legal Action: Children and teens have standing to sue over climate policies because they face disproportionate, long-term impacts from climate change and have limited political voice.Government Accountability: These cases highlight how fossil fuel development requires government permission and subsidies, challenging the "market-driven" narrative.Recent Victories: The Montana Supreme Court ruling forces the state to consider climate impacts in permitting, while a Hawaii settlement requires complete transportation decarbonization by 2045.Juliana v. United States: Learn about the ongoing federal case arguing that the U.S. government has violated young people's constitutional rights by knowingly promoting a fossil fuel system despite understanding climate dangers.Links:Our Children's TrustMat Dos SantosHeld v.

The Montana Supreme Court this week sided with Helena's St. Peter's Health in a lawsuit over the hospital's termination of Dr. Tom Weiner. The Court unanimously ruled that the hospital was immune from liability because it followed proper procedure in an internal review process that culminated in Weiner's firing in 2020.

A landmark Montana Supreme Court decision last year struck down laws passed by Republicans that would have changed Montana's bedrock environmental policy. Now, GOP lawmakers have introduced a suite of bills to undo the court's ruling.

The U.S. Supreme Court this week declined to weigh in on a pair of state election laws declared unconstitutional by the Montana Supreme Court early last year. The laws sought to ban same-day voter registration and paid absentee ballot collection.

In this special update episode of People Places Planet, host Dara Albrecht revisits the landmark youth-led climate case, Held v. State of Montana, after the Montana Supreme Court's ruling in December 2024. Building on the original September 2023 episode, ELI Senior Attorney and Director of the Climate Judiciary Project Helene Krasnoff joins returning ELI Staff Attorney Jarryd Page in conversation with Dara to discuss the Montana Supreme Court's recent decision affirming the trial court's ruling in favor of the youth plaintiffs. The episode explores the legal significance of the ruling, how Montana agencies are beginning to incorporate climate considerations into environmental reviews, and the broader implications for climate litigation nationwide. Stay tuned after the update to hear the original episode featuring former host Sarah Backer, Jarryd Page, and Science and Policy Analyst John Doherty for foundational insights into the case.  ★ Support this podcast ★

We interview new faculty member Jeremiah Chin, an expert on children's rights and constitutional rights, about Held v. Montana, the first constitutional climate trial led by children in U.S. history. The Montana Supreme Court ruled in favor of the 16 youth plaintiffs in December 2024 that Montana's fossil fuel energy policies and actions violate the children's state constitutional rights. An expert in children's rights and constitutional rights, Professor Chin joined the UW Law faculty in fall 2024. He is an assistant professor of law with a J.D. and Ph.D. in justice studies from Arizona State University. We discuss the landscape of children's rights, focusing on the youth plaintiffs' expression of their need for protection around climate change and how they have mobilized to participate in litigation. Dr. Chin also examines the strongest arguments for and against the verdict. Finally, he explains why this ruling was achieved more quickly than one still pending from a 2015 federal constitutional claim, Juliana vs. United States, in which 21 young Americans challenge the U.S. government's role in driving climate change and request declaratory relief from federal fossil fuel policies causing harm to their physical health and safety.

The Montana Supreme Court upheld the water use permit for a controversial proposal for a copper mine near the Smith River. The mine is now fully permitted to be built.

In the last few weeks, there has been two excellent podcasts that showcase the depths of what legal learning could provide. In the first, a conversation (here) about the history and framework for the federal constitution, taught largely from an incredible five volume work entitled The Founders' Constitution. The second comes from our friends at the Mattone Center for Law and Religion (here), featuring two Fordham law professors who have launched a forum for law students looking to discuss C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. Fortuitous as it is, we have supplemented on this Christmas Day with a third dimension of legal education, which is the question of access to justice and the role of lawyers in improving the lives of their neighbors. My guest is Kevin T. Frazier, who has written an excellent, short piece for the Federalist Society (here) entitled Artificial Intelligence Can Improve Access to Justice, But the Legal Profession Has a Role to Play. Kevin and I talk about a number of things, including what access to justice means, what are legal deserts, why representation is so important, the various digital tools already out there, and more. Kevin joined St. Thomas University Benjamin L. Crump College of Law as an Assistant Professor of Law in 2023. He teaches administrative law, constitutional law, and civil procedure. Prior to joining STU Law, he served as a Judicial Clerk on the Montana Supreme Court and conducted research on regulating AI as a Research Fellow with the Legal Priorities Project. As of September 2024, he became a Senior Research Fellow in the Constitutional Studies Program at the University of Texas at Austin. Faculty page here. Cross & Gavel is a production of CHRISTIAN LEGAL SOCIETY. The episode was produced by Josh Deng, with music from Vexento.

Molech is a name you may not recognize. He was a pagan god from the ancient world and he shows up in various places throughout the Old Testament. Molech was an oppressive god who demanded much from his subjects, particularly the sacrifice of children. You may be tempted to think that Molech is just a story from the ancient past. He's long-lost to the pages of history, but I'm here to tell you that Molech is making a comeback in 21st century America.

Pray for Zimbabwe, and considering helping at BarnabasAid.org.  Click on “Change Project” and type in “Zimbabwe” and select “Feeding in Zimbabwe.” Venezuelans continue protest against Nicolás Maduro Venezuelans are still protesting the re-election of autocrat President Nicolás Maduro — questioning the integrity of the vote count taken three weeks ago.  Over 2,400 protesters have been arrested — and, tragically, 23 have died in the protests. 52 countries lost freedom Freedom is disappearing around the world.   Freedom House's latest report on worldwide freedoms released in 2024, indicate a loss of freedoms in 52 countries, and a gain in 21 — for an overall loss in 31 nations of the world. The agency indicates a steady decline in freedom every year since 2006.   The organization explains that “Election manipulation was a major driver of declining freedom in 2023 and continued into the first half of this year.” But keep in mind that freedom comes through Jesus. In John 8:36, He said, “If the Son will make you free, you will be free indeed.” Montana Supreme Court calls parental notification unconstitutional The Montana Supreme Court has ruled that a parental notification law for minors considering an abortion is unconstitutional. The 2013 law has been in litigation for over a decade. The court's decision held that a minor's right to “kill her own baby” or, in the ruling's language, “control her reproductive decisions”  is “among the most fundamental of the rights she possesses.”  Only 35% of Evangelicals have Biblical worldview Only 10% of Americans are Evangelical, and only 35% of these possess a Biblical worldview, according to a recent survey by the Cultural Research Center and pollster George Barna.  According to Barna's description, Evangelicals are those who recognize their sinful lives, rely upon Jesus Christ for their redemption, and receive practical life guidance and wisdom from the Bible in their quest to live under the Lordship of Jesus. Disturbingly, 60% of people attending “Evangelical” churches have accepted the popular idea that animals, plants, water, and the wind all have a unique spirit. And almost half of the adults attending Evangelical churches, 44%, believe that there is no absolute moral truth.  Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton opened the DNC last night The Democratic National Convention opened last night in Chicago, with addresses from President Joe Biden and the 2016 Democrat nominee for president, Hillary Rodham Clinton.  Trump – 49%; Harris – 45% Among the most accurate and reliable polling organizations, Rasmussen Reports, has issued the results of a survey of the U.S. presidential race conducted last week.  Donald Trump is still ahead of Kamala Harris -- 49% to 45%. The results are similar to the Rasmussen survey conducted on July 10th — placing Trump ahead of Biden, 46% to 40%. Nasdaq's gains The Nasdaq Composite is regaining ground since its drop in early August — still enjoying a 36% gain from early in 2021. However, the Russell 2000 Index of small cap companies, which represents the rest of the American business world, has not gained any since January 2021.   The dominant forces in the market are still the Magnificent 7 stocks of Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Tesla (TSLA), and Nvidia (NVDA). Those stocks continue to do well, rising from taking up 7.5% of the total S&P 500 capitalization to now around 34% of the total S&P capitalization in the U.S. stock market.  Phil Donahue dead at 88 Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed once for man to die and after that the judgment.” Iconic TV talk show host Phil Donahue, who hosted the Phil Donahue Show from 1967-1996, is dead at 88 years of age after a long illness, reports NBC News. He was a life-long Catholic, and “not a very good one,” in his own words. Phil Donahue interviewed atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair For 29 years, his daytime talk show pioneered an intriguing mix of serious topics, provocative guests, well-known celebrities, and questions from the audience members. In 1988, he interviewed atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair. Listen to his introduction. DONAHUE:  “Mrs. O'Hair is probably the world's most famous atheist. She is certain that there is no God. Mrs. O'Hair, as you probably know, is singly responsible for one of the most controversial decisions in the history of the United States Supreme Court, the banning of the official reading of prayer in public schools.” Here's a soundbite from their dialogue. DONAHUE: “Now, this really bugs me, Madalyn.” O'HAIR: “I know it does.” DONAHUE: “See, you say, ‘I don't know how this all began.' And I say, ‘I want to know why, if you don't know how life began, how you're so certain there is no God.' To be consistent, I think you should say, ‘I don't know where life began, and I don't know if there's a God.' O'HAIR: “All right, let me finish it then, because, this is the thing. Since we don't know about this, since none of us know.” DONAHUE: “Know what?” O'HAIR: “How it began, or why, or when, or if it began at all. What we have to do is take all of the evidence. If we pile the evidence up, and all of the evidence of science -- and it's really massive -- is on one side, and on the other side is a book that we know, for the most part, when it was written and how it was written, etc. -- and this flies in the face of all of the other evidence, then you discard the book. You say, ‘It's no good.'” DONAHUE: “But discarding the book doesn't necessarily prove that there is no God. Let's talk about a higher being.” O'HAIR: ‘No, not a being.” DONAHUE: “What do you call it?” O'HAIR: “Some higher entity.” DONAHUE: “Alright, a higher entity. You are saying you don't know if there is one, aren't you?” O'HAIR: “That's right.” DONAHUE:  “That's not atheism. That's agnosticism.” (O'Hair giggles) Donahue was married to Margaret Cooney, his first wife, for 17 years with whom he had five children.  Then, Donahue married actress Marlo Thomas, his second wife, for 44 years.

Protections for abortion supported by the Montana Supreme Court, a plastics ban in Bozeman is no longer in the bag, and a well-known landmark in Montana's largest state park is on the move.

The Attorney General's office asked the court to take over the case after a district court judge ordered the Montana Secretary of State to count inactive voters as qualified electors.

The Montana Supreme Court says no to intervening on the fight over ballot petitions, the town of Havre is under another water use ban, and a new research facility in Montana is hoping to help farmers grow more organic food.

The Montana Supreme Court recently reversed a decision that would have blocked a copper mine on the headwaters of the Smith River.  Where we thought we had a win in preventing a mine in the wrong place, we now may have to live with that mine.  David Brooks [33:02] on Montana TU tells us how, at the very least, TU and other organizations convinced the mine to put in a number of mitigation solutions that were not in their original plan.  Trout Unlimited has one more hail Mary on this issue, which you can learn about in the podcast.  This is a tough subject to listen to, but we learn that we can never give up on environmental issues, even when it looks like we've won.  (To sign a petition in support of Trout Unlimited's position preventing the mine from expanding onto public land, click here https://montanatu.org/protect-the-smith-sign-the-mineral-withdrawal-petition/   In the Fly Box this week, we have some more fun and positive topics, including: What is a tailing loop in fly casting? To practice casting for a saltwater trip, should I just use yarn or should I use a hookless fly similar to the size I will be casting? What is the purpose of a wing on a wet fly? Does the loop at the end of a fly line cause energy loss? How can I photograph striped bass beneath a bridge? Can I keep fly rods in my cartop quiver in hot weather? A great tip from a listener about using white poster board on the surface of an old rolltop desk. Another tip from a listener on using inexpensive drill gauges to size hunks of deer hair and beads. Would a one-piece rod be better than a four-piece rod? How do I keep debris from drifting downstream when fishing the top of a riffle? What is a good all-around fly line for bonefish and redfish? I had a fishless day and then a guy with a spin rod caught a trout right in front of me.  Should I have switched to a streamer earlier?
