Keystone XL pipeline gets go-ahead from Nebraska Supreme Court

By S.A. Miller   - The Washington Times - Friday, August 23, 2019


The Nebraska Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, rejecting another attempt by opponents to derail the project.

The ruling delivered a big win for Canada-based TC Energy and President Trump, who made approving the pipeline project one of his first acts as president.

The court ruling upheld a decision by the Nebraska Public Service Commission that in a 3-2 vote nearly two years ago authorized a new route for the pipeline. The opponents filed a lawsuit, arguing that the company needed to jump through more regulatory hoops.

The opponents, who include environmentalists and Native American activists, vowed to keep fighting.

   Wasn't this another one of those 'Day One' campaign promises?  Of course I could be wrong.

The courts have been hanging things up.

The DAPL had the dogs called off and was allowed to be completed, and within a very few months was moving a half million barrels of Crude oil out of ND daily.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
