Oklahoma AG Files Lawsuit to Stop Execution of Inmate
Attorney General Scott Pruitt has filed a lawsuit in Oklahoma to stop the execution of an inmate scheduled for Wednesday night.
In a statement, Pruitt said that he has “serious concerns about the constitutionality of this proposed execution” and that he will do everything in his power “to protect the rights of all Oklahomans.”
The inmate, Clayton Lockett, was sentenced to death for killing a 19-year-old girl in 1999. His attorneys have argued that he is mentally ill and should be given a chance at rehabilitation.
Lockett’s case has drawn attention from around the world. Pope Francis called for a stay of execution last week, and Amnesty International has said that it is concerned about possible violations of Lockett’s constitutional rights.
Oklahoma AG Files Lawsuit to Overturn Ban on Abortion
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to overturn a state ban on abortion. The anti-abortion law, which was passed in 2012, makes it illegal to perform or provide abortion in the state unless the mother’s life is at risk. The lawsuit, which was filed in the Oklahoma Supreme Court, argues that the ban violates the constitutional rights of women and doctors. “This law is unconstitutional and will not be enforced,” Pruitt said in a statement. “We will continue to stand up for our constitutionally protected rights and freedoms.” The Oklahoma abortion ban has been controversial since it was passed. Critics argue that it is restrictive and unnecessary, while supporters say it is necessary to protect women’s health. A poll released earlier this year found that 47 percent of Oklahomans support the ban, while 42 percent oppose it.
Oklahoma AG Sues EPA Over Clean Air Regulations
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt filed a lawsuit on Friday against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over clean air regulations. Pruitt, who was previously the head of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, said in a statement that EPA’s “latest regulatory assault” is unconstitutional and will have a dramatic impact on economic development. The lawsuit alleges that the Clean Air Act does not allow EPA to regulate greenhouse gases from motor vehicles. Pruitt also said that this regulation will cost Oklahoma jobs and reduce energy production in the state.

Oklahoma AG Files Lawsuit to Overturn Ban on Abortion
In an effort to overturn a ban on abortion in Oklahoma, the state’s attorney general has filed a lawsuit. The ban, passed by the state legislature in 2013, imposes severe restrictions on abortion procedures, including requiring that all abortions take place in surgical centers and requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. The suit, filed in the Oklahoma District Court last week, argues that the ban is unconstitutional and violates the woman’s right to choose. “The Constitution guarantees women the fundamental right to make personal decisions about her own body,” Attorney General Scott Pruitt said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “This law is an extreme attempt to restrict that right and we will vigorously defend it.” The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Oklahoma is also participating in the suit.
While this law has been met with opposition from many within Oklahoma, it has been championed by some prominent conservatives. State Rep. Dan Newberry (R-District 93), one of the lawmakers who helped pass the bill, has argued that it is necessary to protect women’s health. “The legislation would not only protect pregnant women but also their unborn children,” he said at a press conference after its passage. “Science has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that life begins at conception.” Abortion rights advocates have maintained that there are other ways to protect pregnant women without imposing such restrictive measures on reproductive choice.
This is not the first time that Oklahoma has attempted to restrict access to abortion services. In 2007, then
Oklahoma AG Sues EPA Over Clean Air Regulations
The Oklahoma Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Monday, claiming that the EPA’s Clean Air Regulations exceed federal authority. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Tulsa, alleges that the EPA’s CO2 emissions standards for new power plants and refineries are illegal and should be struck down. “Oklahoma is among virtually every state in America fighting what we believe are unlawful CO2 emissions regulations from the EPA,” said Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt in a press release. “These so-called ‘Clean Air Act’ rules were never meant to regulate CO2, but rather to address dangerous air pollutants like mercury and soot.” The AG’s suit also contends that the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for biofuels is unconstitutional because it favors certain fuels over others without congressional authorization. Pruitt says that if successful, his office will seek to have all of EPA’s Clean Air Act regulations struck down as well.
Oklahoma is one of many states challenging the Obama administration over its Clean Air Regulations which it claims exceeds federal authority. These so-called ‘Clean Air Act’ rules were never meant to regulate CO2, but rather to address dangerous air pollutants like mercury and soot according to Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt. The EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for biofuels is also being challenged as it favours certain fuels over others without congressional authorization according to Pruitt. If successful,
