A federal judge in Montana on Thursday blocked the Trump administration’s permit allowing the Keystone XL pipeline and barred any construction of the long-delayed project until completion of a supplemental environmental review.

Since when does a judge decide which rulings by Executive are merited and which are not?
This only way his ruling makes any sense is to give credence to Obama's order and not to Trump's order.
This is a clear violation of his authority and should make him subject to impeachment and removal.
