Obama-appointed judge orders halt to construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline
Legal Insurrection ^ | 11/10/2018 | Leslie Eastman

Posted on 11/11/2018 12:09:42 PM PST by Rusty0604

U.S. District Judge Brian Morris has just ordered a halt to the construction of the $8 billion Keystone XL Pipeline, the next phase of the massive pipeline system, until further environmental analysis is conducted.

The judicial #Resistance move is not surprising, as Morris is a liberal who was appointed by Obama in 2013.

Interestingly, this move is likely to hurt Canadians more than the U. S. Ensuring at least one pipeline is built is critical to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plans, as there is a Canadian election expected next year. Canadian officials are scrambling to find other ways to move the oil they produce.

Do like the dims. Ignore and proceed doing whatever you wish.

Wouldn’t it be something if a federal judge ordered the shutdown of Jerry Brown’s bullet train on the same grounds?

Just do what the RATs do: Have a “re-do”, claim victory and ignore the original ruling.

Ignore, impeach, remove, replace.

The fact is that environmental studies have been done....MANY of them...for THIS pipeline so this is pure judicial activism.

Maybe some federal Judge can demand welfare payments stop.

Can’t get a law or rule passed by the legit Legislative process because it is stupid/illegal/unpopular or suicidal?

Find a *friendly* Judge and have it your way....

This is why the Dems fought Kavanaugh’s selection - it would end this kind of cr@p.

I’d wager a good sum that more environmental “studies” have been done for this pipeline than any other. The amount of “study” of this thing is beyond absurd. They all reach the same conclusion, too — it is ok to build it.

They just need to keep studying until the desired conclusion is obtained.

Exactly...just like fraudulent vote “recounts.”

Democrat patterns of conduct are so woefully obvious.

How on earth could this judge possibly believe that this would be within his purview in which to rule.

I guess our present economy that was due to obama was doing to good?

Justice Thomas said awhile back that the power these judges have taken is questionable at best, and it may have to be decided in SCOTUS. I ask what they are waiting for?

If there was ever any doubt that we live under a totalitarian regime, look no no further.

Judges just issue whatever is needed.

Votes are “found” days after election, I mean Measuring Day.

A permanent deep state undermines.

And now a rogue house majority will investigate everything and anything.

And so it starts.. the two years of hate Trump to come. Must destroy all he has done to re-make America. Be ready for anything and everything including, I believe, Impeachment and assassination.

Very discouraging. But, following President Trump’s lead, we are starting to fight back.

We are staring to fight back but how? The left has declared an end to their playing the man’s game. I had a discussion today with a couple that moved here from California. It became obvious they shared our political views.

Their report from the Bay Area: a principal leading nine year olds in a “Black Lives Matter” protest, fear of expressing a counter political view lest they lose their jobs, and a neighbor’s lawn torched (neighbor was ultra liberal) after someone played a prank and put a GOP candidate’s lawn sign on his lawn.

The left is making it so fight back means something different than it did ten years ago.
