Supreme Court faces increased pressure from Congress to reinstate massive pipeline
Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: A delegation of nine members of Congress are filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, urging it to reinstate a key natural gas pipeline.
"The Fourth Circuit judges are not supreme rulers and lawful orders issued by the legislative and executive branches must be followed," Reschenthaler told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Congress was well within its power to restart the Mountain Valley Pipeline construction and usher in a new era of energy independence for the region." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Instead of halting the pipeline, I urge the Supreme Court to plug up the ludicrous activism seeping out of the lower court so American families can enjoy lower energy costs, substantial land royalties, and most importantly – law and order in America," he continued.
