How the coverage framed it

The four headlines show a moderate spread of 3.0 points, with meaningful framing differences between the left and right ends of the spectrum. The *Los Angeles Times* anchors the neutral end, using the verb "weigh" and a straightforward description of potential corporate liability — language that neither favors nor disfavors either side. At the right end, *The Federalist* reframes the case entirely, replacing legal process language with political conflict language: "Climate Activists Want The Supreme Court To Impose A Green New Deal That Voters Rejected" casts the plaintiffs as ideological agitators seeking to bypass democratic will, while the phrase "Voters Rejected" implies the litigation itself is anti-democratic. *National Review* offers a subtler rightward signal with its phrase "the Right Court," a double meaning that implies prior courts were incorrect venues or ideologically unsuitable. The middle outlets remain closer to neutral, describing the case in procedural or strategic terms without overt ideological loading.
