| Pres. Trump signs permit to jump-start delayed construction of Keystone XL pipeline |
| 2019-03-30 |
| [The Hill] President Trump on Friday signed a presidential permit to jump-start construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline with a facility in Montana, a move seen as a way to circumvent previous court orders halting development. The permit authorizes energy company TransCanada Corp. to "construct, connect, operate, and maintain" pipeline facilities between the U.S. and Canada. The permit also allows for the maintenance of a pipeline facility at Phillips County, Montana, for importation of the oil to the U.S. The order supersedes a March 2017 order. That permit was invalidated by a Montana federal judge in November. The ruling is being appealed in the 9th Circuit. Separately, a December lawsuit placed an injunction on most pre-construction activities. "For the avoidance of doubt, I hereby revoke that March 23, 2017, permit," Trump wrote in Friday's order. |

| #4 No doubt some federal judge will impose an injunction within the next 48 hours. Yep. The usual. Gotta steer things to SCOTUS as soon as possible to get anything done. |

| #3 One of my high school classmates, a real lefty, went out there a few years ago 'to express solidarity with my Indian brothers!' I told her - 'gimme a break; you're as pasty white as I am'. She then unfriended me on Facebook. How intolerant! |
