A federal judge’s order suspending construction of the long-delayed 1,200-mile Keystone XL Pipeline that would link Canadian oil sands fields to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast is an example of the judiciary’s out-of-control liberal activism, according to conservatives who favor rolling back the power of government.
“The Keystone pipeline provides clean energy and good jobs that will make America stronger, so leftists want it shut down,” said Donny Ferguson, president of Americans for a Better Economy, an Alexandria, Virginia-based nonprofit organization.
