An effort to halt construction of an oil pipeline by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe was rejected by a U.S. District Judge Friday. From the NY Times:
The ruling by Judge James E. Boasberg in Washington rejected efforts by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to halt construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. A lawyer for the tribe says the ruling will be appealed.
Although the $3.7 billion pipeline would not cross the reservation on its 1,170-mile path across four states, it would skirt the reservation’s northern boundary and run through what tribal officials say are ancestral lands. They say the pipeline would disrupt or destroy cultural and burial sites and could contaminate their water if it breaks or leaks as it crosses under a dammed section of the Missouri River.
However, immediately after the tribe lost in court, the Obama administration stepped in and halted construction anyway.

Soon Obama will feel like The Incredible Shrinking Idiot
Can he actually do that? Under what constitutional authority can the president say, “I don’t like that therefore you have to stop it.”
No, he won’t. He’s a certifiable narcissist.
OBAMA knows his time is short and is dismantling AMERICA as fast as he can. Where is CONGRESS to halt another Presidential overreach?
“Where is CONGRESS to halt another Presidential overreach?”
Why they’re in the Congressional Ladies Room shaving their “privates!” After we elect President Trump, we need to go after the Congress with a vengence. They have consciously enabled Obama at every turn.
Supreme Leader From Behind strikes again

MIA and so the Brown Clown buys a few more votes for the Rat party.
Hey redskins, the White Man owns that land, not you. The Great Black Father has no case. Give up, and get back on the Reservation, like your Black Brothers in Washington DC. Black Oil must continue to flow or White man will use the Iron Horse to carry the oil across your land, killing many buffalo.
WARREN BUFFET....has the most to lose here.

Laws and permits and courts don’t matter, Obozo will do what he pleases!!
They ‘asked’ the company to cease operations until a review can be conducted. They have zero authority to halt it. Media, of course, isn’t restrained to the truth.
The Kenyan queen strikes again!

The white hut will return to being the White House, and life will return to something that made this xxxxard miserable.
LOL
Anything that could peg a time for the return of Christ could not be true but coincidentally. In fact the bible seems to suggest that the time will be marked with seeming “peace and safety.”
Standing Rock is just mad they aren’t getting the money for it. The land is not part of the Res.
Is it possible for a POTUS to overrule a lawful court order?
