Since the pipeline will probably benefit Illinois, I'm guessing that 0bama is not too interested in stopping it.

Damn Obama ! He hates hippies !!!......:o)
I thought it was just those cans the oil comes in. “He hates those cans!!”
The tribe’s claim of the pipeline defiling sacred sites reminds me of the peyote argument that gave the Native American Church protection for its use by the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. This claim of religious freedom, in the case of the pipeline, is justified by by pure fantasy. When policy is created on the basis of pure fantasy, we have tyranny.
I was thinkin the same thing. Lol.
Likeky locals from diverse backgrounds don’t want, see a big company coming through with no local benefit. I can’t say that is for sure but I’ve involved in similar situations and it is all walks of life locally that join to stop it. That includes local business groups joining with conservation groups. Again, I have no idea what the situation is there.
The real agenda is not to protect the environment because petroleum products spilled from train and truck accidents do more environmental damage than pipelines. The real agenda is the carbon cap and trade and carbon taxes. This is about money being siphoned away from rich technological nations to the pockets of ideological parasites.
Bring on the waterboards!
I worked at the Mandan refinery in January 1992 and lived in Alaska in 1958. Temperaturewise very little difference between the two places. Cccccccccccccooooooooooold!!
For all you folks who do not seem to understand. I doubt any or at least many of you would agree to have an oil pipeline go through Arlington Cemetary or close enough to ruin it should there be a leak.
I side with the Native Americans on this one...we can reroute the pipeline. The Indians have been poorly treated, once again.
This will ALL be blamed on Trump once inaugurated.

Construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline remains halted at the point where it will cross the Missouri River in North Dakota, but construction is nearly complete in South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois.
Construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline remains halted at the point where it will cross the Missouri River in North Dakota, but construction is nearly complete in South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Sunday announced that it had rejected the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s motion for an injunction to block construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Protesters and activists this week stepped up their efforts not only to halt construction on the 1,172-mile-long, $3.8 billion pipeline that will carry North Dakota crude to a terminal in Patoka, Illinois, but also to shut down pipelines transporting crude from Canadian tar sands through the northern U.S.
Following the court’s ruling, the U.S. Department of Justice on Monday asked Energy Transfer Partners—the Dallas-based company building the pipeline—to voluntarily halt construction 20 miles either side of the Lake Oahe reservoir where it crosses the Missouri River just north of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. At issue is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit to build the pipeline under the river.
“The Army continues to review issues raised by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other Tribal nations and their members and hopes to conclude its ongoing review soon,” according to a DOJ news release.
However, Energy Transfer Partners issued a statement saying that it “looks forward to a prompt resumption of construction activities east and west of Lake Oahe on private land.” The company did not say when construction along the Missouri would resume in North Dakota, but it believes “the Army Corps will soon issue the easement for approximately 1,100 feet necessary for the crossing beneath the Missouri River—the sole remaining authorization necessary for completion of the project.”
According to news media reports, by the end of September, the Dakota Access Pipeline was nearly 90 percent complete in North Dakota and mostly completed in South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois.

I didn’t know there was a refinery in Mandan. I was from Grand Forks. I lived in California for 30 years, which I liked a lot more, but the libtards drove me out.
Those Crook County pols need all the money they can get to keep their lifestyles going. I read yesterday the average income of people moving INTO Illinois (not many) is far below those moving OUT of Illinois (lots). The tax base is rapidly withering and the state is in a death spiral.
So you are probably exactly right about Obunghole wanting this particular project to get completed.
(Being sarcastic is fun)
ROFL at your other post!!!
Yeah, we’d all be in a lot of trouble if pipes leaked at the level they seem to think.
They have a pretty good track record :)

You are falling for the Leftist narrative.
On the Dakota Access Pipeline, let’s stick to the facts

facts are a funny thing...make sure yours are the right ones.

Not the protestors
They are claiming the work being done is hurting ‘sacred native ‘ lands. It is the commies protesting anything and everything.
