SCOTUS Asked To Decide Fate Of Pivotal Pipeline After Federal Court Opposes Congress And Halts Construction

The Supreme Court may soon weigh in on Mountain Valley Pipeline developers’ request to vacate a federal court’s order to halt construction on the project, which developers argue conflicts with a law Congress passed guaranteeing its completion.

Developers of the natural gas pipeline filed an emergency application Friday with Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles petitions from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, asking the Supreme Court to allow the project to continue.

This is one of those pesky issues that the left thinks requires we get rid of or pack the Supreme Court. How dare they consider over-ruling the Court and judges the left carefully picked to hear this case?

Just do as the commies do and totally ignore the court as if it didn’t exist and just keep on trucking. They’re ball-less and have no enforcement arm.

This is one of those issues that will really test the SCOTUS.

On what side will "Smirkin' John" Roberts land?
