Ninth Circuit 3-judge panel dismisses suit against constructing the Keystone XL Pipeline
2019-06-09
[AMERICANTHINKER] The legal debris field has been cleared and the objections of Native American and environmentalist special interest groups nullified by a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Washington Post reports:

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday ordered dismissal of the lawsuit by environmental and Native American groups, saying President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
had revoked a 2017 permit allowing the $8 billion pipeline to be built.

Trump later issued a new permit, and the appellate judges agreed with Justice Department attorneys who say that nullifies the legal challenge involving environmental impacts.

#2  The Ninth Circuit. Who'd a thunk it?

It's really good to see Trump's judicial appointments finally making a difference.

Also, maybe this will help quench the environmentalists' and other leftists' insatiable appetite for lawfare. We can hope.

#1  Next stop would be in camera, then nothing changes, on to SCOTUS. The thing could be built an in operation by then, but for ai injunction from some other rogue judge. At what point do judges start to resent other judges second guessing them?
