I hope this dumbassed idea of tar sands oil goes down in flames. We don't need this sh!t spilling onto some of our best croplands and possibly contaminating the Ogalala aquifer.

There is little environmental impact:

But setting that aside for the moment, its time for the prevaricator in chief to grow a set and make a decision, pro or con. There's no good reason not to. If the administration makes its decision it would either put pressure on the state to expedite its legal battle if the decision it pro, or help the state avoid the expense of a legal tussle if the decision is con. But the Prez had dragged this one out long enough to make it laughable.

While I generally agree with building the pipeline, the Nebraska governor did exceed his authority, like it or not.

I don't know enough about Nebraska law to comment on that one way or another.

In essence, he made a decision that was the responsibility of the State Planning Commission. The court said he overstepped his bounds and voided his decision.

In other words, if the decision its no, then no legal battle in Nebraska is required. The pipeline ain't coming in.

Oh, I read what you wrote. I'm still of the opinion that your party is only interested in a desperate search for any millstone they can find to attempt to gain them leverage in the upcoming midterms, particularly in light of the better than expected enrollment in the ACA.

Must suck to be a Repug considering the changing demographics in this country.

You did note that there is ongoing litigation in Nebraska right? Sounds like you've changed your mind on the primacy of states rights v. Federal.

Could it be the Republican quiver is looking threadbare and empty for the upcoming mid terms?

It is a done deal IMO. The shame and blame will be on all of us by this act of selfishness.

Delay delay but unless society goes renewable the resources will be used.

We need to use multiple sources of energy. With our needs and population it's the only way.
