Did you know Delaware and New Jersey almost went to war? ...against each other? ...in 2008?
Regardless of the Supreme Court's admonition to the two states against further litigation on this subject, they were back before the court as late as November 2005, when New Jersey's desire to approve plans by BP to build a liquefied natural gas terminal along the New Jersey shore of the Delaware River fell afoul of Delaware's Coastal Zone Act.<11> The court on January 23, 2006, appointed a special master to study the border dispute,<12> and on March 21, 2008, it upheld his report.<13> Meanwhile the Delaware House of Representatives considered a (symbolic) bill to call out the National Guard to safeguard the State's interests, while New Jersey legislators made comments about the Battleship New Jersey, moored upriver from the site.
