This one is easy. Ignore the judge. Build the Pipeline. Ignore any penalties. Ignore obama. Go to work and Get ‘Er Done. When they bring out the firearms, film them, and ask ‘em about why they protect illegals and will not protect Americans and Americans jobs. A stand has to be taken.

Fine, if that’s the law, but I wonder if this judge would disallow any of Obama’s usurpation of Congressional powers?

[TurboZamboni]

Muslims will be on Mars before this pipeline ever gets done.

Toss her out the next election — or is she an appointed judge?

[realcleanguy]

Funny how everyone wants to be in control and make all the decisions. The world must be laughing at us

[Iron Munro]

Money talks.

But sometimes when it talks the words come out of the mouths of politicians, judges or others.

[Brad from Tennessee]

I suspect the hand of the White House in this mess. A state judge makes a ruling that now has the governor and Nebraska legislature holding up the pipeline. It gives Obama an excuse to continue doing nothing while blaming a Republican governor.

What's that French expression to explain bizarre instances of corruption? (They mean it in a different sense, but here goes):

Cherchez la femme.

[CedarDave]

Fine. Let’s build a railroad along the route of the pipeline and see how that would sit with them.

[cicero2k]

Yet they can find judges in California to approve a far more intrusive right of way than a pipeline; for train tracks that no one will ride on.

Something is wrong with the priorities here.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Change the objective of the pipeline from energy to abortion. It’ll get approved in a tenth of a second.

Key words here “three Nebraska Landowners”. Which one is Ted Turner or if not, how much is he paying them while ranchers everywhere see the lowest herd numbers in decades?

[1010RD]

Don’t use eminent domain. Buy land on the side of a railroad or highway, donate existing government land, pay market rates for the land, etc. I am certain that a variety of computer programs can run a series of routes and land can be bought in the blind.

Is this a Nebraska state judge? He’s likely correct if the Nebraska State Constitution limits the jurisdiction for this.

[Blackyce]

It's hilarious how easy it is to distract a group of freepers. a local district court judge issues a nonsensical ruling saying that the Nebraska legislature can't alter the authority of a commission of which the Nebraska constitution specifically says "The powers and duties of such commission shall include the regulation of rates, service and general control of common carriers as the Legislature may provide by law."

This is a bad decision, plain and simple. One which will take the President off the hook for this problem for an indefinite amount of time. Rather than criticize the obvious, freepers want to use the opportunity to argue amongst themselves over Kelo and eminent domain in general. Craziness.
