Obama won't sign Keystone pipeline legislation; Nebraska court decision among factors
LINCOLN Nebraska emerged yet again Tuesday in the national political showdown over the Keystone XL pipeline.
Citing a pending court decision on the project route through Nebraska, the White House said for the first time that President Barack Obama would veto legislation approving the much-delayed Canadian oil pipeline.
Hours after the Republican-controlled Senate announced a bill to allow Keystone XL construction, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said lawmakers need to let the well-established process play out.
If this bill passes this Congress, the president wouldnt sign it, Earnest said Tuesday, adding that legislation shouldnt undermine the review process under way at the State Department or circumvent the Nebraska Supreme Courts consideration of the state law used to establish the pipeline route.

We don't disagree. I doubt that any more than 10% of politicians are on our side.

Do you support this non-populist trade deal and if not what are you specifically doing to stop it?
