The Wall Street Journal is reporting in its Morning Editorial Report that its editorial board argues a climate lawsuit brought by Boulder, Colorado, would return the United States to the era of the Articles of Confederation. It said the case, Suncor Energy v. Boulder County, represents a significant moment for federalism at the Supreme Court.
The Journal said the September jobs report showed the labor force grew by 485,000, with most of those new workers finding jobs.
It also said the Trump family businesses will be in the spotlight on Capitol Hill for the next two years, describing a coming "star turn" for Donald Trump Jr.
In New York, the Journal said a judge found that the rollout of a pied-a-terre tax backed by Zohran Mamdani violated due process, calling it a chill of collectivism.
On foreign policy, the Journal said the U.S. Navy has opened the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic except the Iranian regime's oil exports, describing the Battle of Hormuz as turning.
The report also included commentary from Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., who wrote that an interpretive method disciplines decision-making but does not free judges of the need to exercise judgment. Other pieces addressed Iran's foreign policy, artificial intelligence and its effects on savers and banking liquidity, and the revival of the American bison population through privatization led by ranchers including Ted Turner.
Columnist Peggy Noonan wrote about artificial intelligence, and James Freeman examined how blue states' policies affect wealthy residents. The report also featured a review of 11 books and an essay on an Emily Dickinson poem about grief.
