Twenty one State Attorneys General have filed a court challenge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas challenging President Biden’s Executive order that halted the Keystone XL Pipeline Project. Among those states were Texas, South Dakota and Nebraska. Bold Nebraska member and cattle rancher Tom Genung who’s been fighting the project for the past ten years doesn’t think the court challenge will go anywhere.
He says the having this being considered by the courts just slows any possible progress on Keystone XL.
Genung says the so called benefits of the pipeline have been misleading.
The Attorneys General are arguing that the President’s Executive Order is arbitrary and capricious and is a violation of separation of powers between Congress and the President. They’re also arguing that the power to regulate foreign and interstate commerce belongs to Congress.
