Supreme Court Authorizes New Manchin-Backed Project Despite Public BACKLASH | The Left Wing 14.2
from The Left Wing · host The Left Wing
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline could resume immediately. In doing so, the court affirmed certain powers that Congress has over federal courts, and all but ensured quick completion of the natural gas pipeline. The pipeline is controversial, and over the past six years, various lower federal court decisions have interrupted and delayed its construction. In the current round of litigation, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order that temporarily blocked completion of the pipeline while the court reviewed Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management authorizations for the pipeline's completion. And on Thursday, the Supreme Court, in an unsigned order, agreed, all but ensuring that the pipeline's completion will go forward.
