Last month, I warned that Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill had turned her back on MAGA energy dominance by siding with climate trial lawyers in their $745 million shakedown case against the energy industry. Some might have thought I was being too harsh. But events since then have proven me exactly right: Murrill’s position is not just misguided — it’s directly at odds with President Trump’s agenda, Louisiana’s economy, and basic common sense.
The Supreme Court battle over the Plaquemines Parish lawsuit has now placed these issues squarely into the national spotlight. And with the Trump administration filing a brief in defense of Chevron, there is no longer any doubt about where conservatives stand.
The President has made American energy dominance a defining feature of his second term. He is not about to endorse Democrat-style lawsuits that threaten drilling, jobs, and growth in a state where oil and gas are the lifeblood of the economy. Yet this is precisely what Murrill has done. By teaming up with Democrat-aligned trial lawyers, she has imported California-style climate lawfare into Louisiana. For a self-described Republican to play this role in a deep red state is an astonishing betrayal.
