LOL the hypocrisy is amazing.
You prefer that oil be hauled by diesel-powered trains that emit massive amounts of carbon and particulate matter.
You haven't a single legitimate conviction or idea of your own and so fill the void with leftist garbage. It gives me some comfort that you are having a shitty life crawling around on roofs and in basements and lurking in your little white utility truck.
It is presently the business of Nebraska government, and the Dept. of State.
then why doesn't Obama get out of the way and let them fight it out? The dept of state can be bypassed just by trucking oil across the border and filling the pipeline. Nebraska is a different matter, and they have gotten completely out of control. This thing will end up in court for years, with or without Obama.
at anyrate, if you want to get along, it is a bad place to start right out with a veto of a bipartisan bill. Obama can't make a speech, even the State of the Union without blaming republicans for everything. He starts out good, he is a very inspiring speaker, and then he goes into his "republican rant". Looks like nothing has changed. He is a democrat and he hates republicans. And that means he hates about 47% of all Americans. Including my mother.
He's not in the way, unless the reps in Congress put him there by putting merely symbolic (at the moment) legislation in front of him.
Edit: and Obama has a LOT of room to use that veto pen before he's in any danger of being a veto leader. Besides, constant rep obstructionism the past six years hasn't hurt them much, and Obama can't be reelected anyway.
keystone is only symbolic if he vetoes it
I would prefer it not be used at all. And anything that makes it easier to use is not a good thing. It's that simple. Simpleton. The trains can be made cleaner.
And as Loyek pointed out, over-riding of private property rights for the gain of corporations is just wrong. Aside from the risk of polluting of aquifers and more scarring of the land.
And it's pretty fucked up of you, and typical of right wing assholes, that you find pleasure in the thought of me being miserable. Says a lot about you.
Kelo v. City of New London:
- was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another private owner to further economic development. In a 5–4 decision, the Court held that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified private redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
