Two more states, Alaska and Florida, have joined the federal lawsuit challenging President Biden’s decision to revoke the Keystone XL pipeline permit, bringing the number of states seeking to reinstate the project to 23.
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen announced Thursday that Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor were added to the amended complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
“The Constitution is clear that presidents do not have the power to regulate foreign and interstate commerce or to unilaterally undo an act of Congress,” said Mr. Knudsen.
“We will continue to fight this federal overreach – along with the 22 other states – so that Montanans can benefit from the jobs, tax revenue, and enhanced energy independence the Keystone XL will bring to our communities.”
